ok ive been LDing for years now, but only just found out what one is and what you can do with them. and im some one that is very good at remembering dreams. until now. now that ive learnt all this stuff. my dreams are quite.... "blurry"
does anyone know why???
the only LD ive had recently. i felt lasted for about a minute and i woke up.
It sounds like your dream recall is going down, do you keep a dream journal? That would help.
Otherwise, you could be sleeping slightly different, causing less vividness in dreams.
just out of curiosity, why do we keep a DJ?
To train ourselves to remember more dreams, the more dreams we remember, the better!Quote:

For example many people have LDs the night they hear about it, before researching it.
Also, DreamingDragon, it's to
- Have a written record of all your dreams, so you can look back
- Look for themes/dreamsigns to help you get lucid
- Improve your dream recall
yeah there's a slight dilema regarding DV then- on the one hand visiting it can get you into the mindset of LD-ing, however again you read about how hard it is and stuff so it's a double edged sword.
For the same reason I keep normal journal :) it shows my path and helps me with my introspection. Also, with keywords I can easily recall almost all my entries for last 4 years. Helps me re-creating those dreams if I want to.Quote:

thanks for the replies. i think it could aslo be because ive been going to bed alot later than usual. having less sleep time.
