Actually yes, I had more complex , more vivid and longer dreams while using this tehnique. I will continue this for now, but I will change mantra from time to time. I am still thinking in which language to write. I tried in my native language which is Slovak, but it works better in English for me. Maybe I try serbian some time because it's language that I use most of the time...Quote:

So like, write a journal entry with full sentences and paragraphs, like a story about how amazing lucid dreamers we are, how often it happens for us, what we do, etc etc. That keeps it fresh and would keep us more plugged into the process? cause we naturally think up stories to ourselves, we don't usually repeat one statement over and over, we've got a whole monologue going in full sentence format... I'm gunna try it
@ninoslavi
All that matters is that it gets inside your head.
I've tried that millions of times and it doesn't seem to have had an effect on my LD rate. Might be different for you, of course.Quote:

I will definitely keep with this.
4th night - nothing but just another long vivid dream...I think it helps me remember dreams more and gives me longer and more vivid dreams....So i will keep doing this tehnique....
Wow,Very interesting technique..I'll try it tonight xD
this should be more powerfull if you write not a general phrase like "i will remember that i am in a dream" but a personal mantra which is choosed according your own dream signs.
for example: one of my dream sign is that i usual wear a red shirt in my dreams, so i will use this mantra (which will be write some number of times): "if i ll wear a red shirt, i will know that i am in a dream".
should be powerfull, shouldn't it?
It is.Quote:

Tonight i will try and write a more specific task to do. I want to meet a DC that appeared some time ago and he gave me his name. My phrase tonight will be:
"In my dream, i will call (name of DC) and have a talk".
I don't believe the desired outcome is to maifest the act of writing in dreams, rather the act of writing is just a particularly effective way of programming the subconsciousQuote:

Success did not knock on my door last night after using this tech. I will try again tonight.
I have tried this a couple different ways.
1) In the late afternoon I wrote variations on "Upon waking, I will lay still and try to enter a dream" 30 times, slowly and carefully.
2) Upon WBTB, wrote it 15 more times and went back to sleep.
No results, no improvement to recall. I was definitely motivated, though, since it caused me to think about it all day.
gonna try it. reporting tomorrow :D
day 5 - nothing,...
day 6 - 2 lucid dreams... and I was typing instead of writing...
Didn't work, but it may be because i didn't write 30 times and didn't use a proper mantra.
Do you think that switching mantras from time to time would be beneficial?
Does it matter what time of day we do this?
This is the first technique to work for me I will try it again tonight and report my findings.
I tried this method again last night.
The result was a very clear dream, with lots of easily remembered events in.
Dream was of someone going up a steep pathway to save some stranded schoolkids.
After splitting the kids up into groups of 12. Each group with one teacher in charge, they were led down at intervals of 2 min's
This had nothing to do with my intended dream, but the results were very clear.
Looks like this method gets you into a state where dreams can be recalled more easily.
I've been doing this and my lucid rate has gone up slightly (as far as I've noticed) but the main thing I've noticed is way more legible writing in my non-lucids. And I also love looking at my copy filled with hundreds of lines.
The method I use is that every time I don't have a lucid dream I have to write 10 more lines than the day before, every night I do have a lucid dream I have to write ten less. It's like a reward system for having lucids.
Sounds, like a good technic. I used to have a stable frequency of LD, but since I travel it drop down. I will tell you how does it goes, also if is possible to add an objetive to your LD. that's what interest me, at the moment.
Many Greetings.
