Dream Recall Mantra

Hello all,

I have recently, re discovered a mantra I would practice to help dream recall when I took an on-line OBE course. The mantra is RAOM GAOM..pronounced RAH-OHM GAH-OHM but drawn out. I found it on yahoo video under RAOM GAOM a mantra to remember dreams. I watched the video of a group of people reciting this mantra over and over. Although your supposed to do this upon awakening I did it well before sleep. That night I had four dreams of which I recalled, pretty rare for me. One was very vivid, in which I caught myself actually questioning my surroundings, as though things did not make sense :D haven't done that before!! unfortunately I was unable to become lucid.
Has anyone ever used this mantra? anyone else have success??
I've also noticed that I tend to hit dry spells from time to time with my dream recall....damn it's frustrating!! I think little sleep and alcohol may play a factor.
Cheers

Check out the MILD method, which utilizes mantras.

I'm a MILDer, and yes, I use mantras. However, they consist of simple phrases such as, "I AM dreaming" or "I WILL remember my dreams." Anything can be a mantra, though, as long as you're able to pack enough meaning behind it and truly believe it will help. I don't think there's anything mystical or especially powerful about the mantra you cited, though. My guess is that your stellar dream recall came about because you expected the mantra to work.

I also notice that my dream recall drops to virtually nothing whenever I don't get enough sleep. I recommend getting at least a solid 7 hours.

i actually use this mantra all the time when i cant remember a dream after waking, i just keep repeating it until the dream pops into my head. very effective.

roam gaom. it works really well for me. and i say it exactly as it looks. not all drawn out like the op was saying

I've been using that for years for dream recall. It really works!

Harper is actually the one i learned this technique from. thanks Harper!

LOL -- Oh, yeah, I did post about that here, didn't I? Hee hee. I was just glad to hear that it works for other people. :)

Yeah I'm not really into the whole metaphysical stuff, I kind of find it a turn off. I agree that practicing the mantras just solidify your desire for a result, especially if you believe it yeilds some desired outcome.
