So I'm having a bad problem affecting my dream recall... sleeping in. I can't seem to resist the call of the bed when I wake up after a dream on the weekends. I know I need to wake up and write in my DJ and then I can go back to bed but I just can't break it. My dream recall is suffering. Have any of you guys faced this problem? How did you break it? |

“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”

I do not wake up on purpose to write down dreams, unless it was a long LD. Here is how I worked on recall, I still go back to this if I am having less recall. |

Keywords can be really helpful if you absolutely cannot break the urge to go back to sleep. This might be more of an issue of how determined you are for seeing through to your goals. If you have no lucid goals yet, set some, and focus on those after recalling your dream. Use that wake up as an opportunity to do a proper WBTB and try one of the induction methods as you fall asleep again. |

I have a pad of paper and pen next to my bed when I go to sleep. When I wake up in the night recalling dreams, I slouchily reach over to grab a pen and record notes; key words from my dreams. I don't turn any lights on and I don't look at what I'm writing. When I wake up later to type them up in full detail on the computer, I use the notes as a reference. It's the laziest method out there. Learn it. |

Yeah, I'm also a person who writes key words without so much as looking. Because memory works by association, I can always go back later and fill in the blanks. It's even faster than recording your voice too. |

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
I don't know if I'm alone on this or not, but my dream recall soars sky high on days I can sleep in. Whenever I sleep in it is not unusual for me to remember at least two or three dreams. But on work days when I have to wake up at 5:30am I usually don't remember anything at all. |

Do a reality check.
I've trained my body to wake up at a specific time no matter how late I go to bed. That, or the sunshine wakes me up. |
