Even though I've known about DV for a long time, I've never really bothered to look into WILD until recently. Problem is that I've become lazy in writing down my dreams into my dream journal, and haven't done so for probably a year, and I don't have good dream recall anymore. I just wanted to know if it is possible for me to master WILDing with enough practice without having to go through the trouble of picking my journal back up again.
Thanks for the help.
Boom
journals are only for recall , if u have good dream recall no need for journal
Yes, tekkendreams I know that.
I guess to be more specific about my question i should have said:
Is good recall REALLY necessary when attempting/accomplishing a WILD?
If you want to remember your possible lucid, then yes. But if you don't want to remember it then recall isn't necessary.
Motivation and recall go hand in hand. With proper motivation, recall comes naturally. Recall, therefore, can be used as a measure of subconscious motivation. More importantly, with proper motivation, one can wake up directly after the lucid has ended. The poorer your recall (a result of serious motivation adn dedication) the less likely you are to wake up after your wake-induced-lucid-dream, and the less likely you are to remember said dream. It'd suck to WILD at 4:00 and not awaken until 7:00 (after the dream has ended and erased), wouldn't it?
Thats interesting point. Motivation and recall. You are pretty true. If I dedicate time to lucid dreaming, it pays back. The recall really increases. But how to build a motivation in a ever doubting mind? Sometimes the brain is in condition: Yes and sometimes it is in condition: Why should I.
But still. Even when mind doesnt want. If we give it time to think about LD at the evening. It increases the probability of remembering dreams drastically. And the key would be, to become a partner with the brain. To respect its actuall mood and not to force it. Just to offer alternatives and wait for it to catch, and to align.
:D
just buy a tape recorder or something, that's way easier. I don't have a tape recorder myself but i use sound recorder on my computer
take sketch notes of your dreams rather than writing out the whole bit. I leave MS Word open on my computer at night while I sleep. If some crazy shit happens, I can take ten seconds waking up and typing out a sentence of two into Word, save it, and go back to sleep. When you wake up later, and you look over what you wrote, the key experience will come flooding back into your memory.
It's funny... why does a good dream recall help remember LD?
Or, why is it hard to remember a LD at all?
I mean, if you are indeed conscious as you are during the day, then there shouldn't be any kind of problem remembering it in the morning? And specially being such an exciting experience...
I think that question might have 2 solutions:
1. When you lucid dream, you are lucid as in daily life, (conscious brain is awake) but not as much as to be able to remember it perfectly afterwards (the ability of storing memories is not running as in daily life).
Or
2. The more spiritual answer, which says that when you Dream/Lucid Dream, (like having an OBE), your shift your energery/assemblage point/perception/what-ever-you-call-it, thus being difficult to recover those memories as they are not stored as usual.
I really don't know which answer is the 'one', or maybe non of them... What do you think?
no you don't need any recall whatsoever to WILD.
it's very easy to remember a wild, you can because when you remind yourself of how you did wild, then the lucid is connected in your memory to the method.
