Congrats on your first ld!!! That's awesome!

This morning I woke up but only managed to remember a small amount of my dream. However upon falling back asleep I found it really easy to remember my biggest and most detailed dream yet, and I really did not have to struggle much for the information at all. Is this what the WBTB method is all about? If so I may have to look into it more because it's really effective.
The main purpose of a wbtb is to raise one's awareness and help focus on having an ld, but maybe improved recall is a side effect of the higher awareness.
