Hello i come for Help

[BLueKnight]

iv become More and more Interested in dream control and Lucid dreaming. Read books and articles about it and how to start doing your self and all that jazz. But i can never seem to even remember ANY dreams. No matter how hard i try or prep for it, i just can't remember any of them . i need some Tips and Tricks to start.

Start writing in a dream journal every time you wake up, even if it's just tiny fragments. Over time you will develop better recall, which will end up helping you with DILDs. Look through the tutorial section (linked below) to learn about the different techniques and the acronyms on this site. And welcome to the forum, don't be afraid to ask any questions you might have

Welcome, like Raphael said, DJ. Some basic tips for it: - Have it near your bed when you wake up - When you wake up, stay still and try to remember what you dreamed about before thinking of what to do today, etc. - Write them as detailed as possible, anything you remember - Even if you don't remember anything, you should write "I don't remember" or similar - Possibly, you might try mantra "I remember my dreams when I wake up" or similar Hope I helped!

Hi Blueknight, I'm also new here but I've been doing this for 25 years and I can probably offer some useful advice if you need it. infact, if anyone needs advice, just ask. Glad to help .

I second CyperAlexi's post! You can also try sleeping for as long as possible. Preferably after a REM rebound the day before (when you sleep less than 5 hours). Also you can try to wake up near the end of each REM cycle. Set an alarm which goes off every 90 minutes after 6 hours of sleep. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!

Thank you all for the advise i will be sure to use it.

1. Buy a digital recorder. Writing things requires a lot of left brain activity, also the brain has to cope with incoming sense data from the eyes which must be open to write. I've found it's much much harder to actually write a DJ than just keeping my eyes closed in the morning and talking to the recorder. 2. Never go to sleep tired. 3. have 1/4 cup of coffee before bed. 4. If you aren't too young to drink a shot of Gin might help. 5. always sleep on your back. You may also wish to attempt "the sleep with the key" during the day some time. Disciplined practice of this very old technique can greatly strengthen one's basic ability to alternate quickly between sleep and waking states.

That was ALL very good advice.
