Personally, I dont even use a Dream Journal... When I have a dream, I keep playing it through in my mind, piece by piece, focusing on events, details, etc. That alone makes me remember them. Then when I WILD, I recall the last dream I had, using that as a method to keep me awake AND somehow I manage to remember more about the dream while in the state...

You just have to have consistency with what you do though - Dream recall is EVERYTHING

Any form of induction other then WILD will have varied lengths of dreams. This is because you notice it is a dream at any given point throughout it. It can range from 5-30 min...
