Thread: Two relatively simple questions

1.) It IS possible to remember ALL of your dream including the beginning, you just need to work on your recall. It could be possible that you have been lucid but don't remember it, but lucid dreams are usually more memorable then normal ones. I usually know when I became lucid because my recall is good.
Have you been keeping a dream journal? If you haven't you should because it is really important. If your recall is bad I recommend you check out this wiki page.

2.) Usually you just shout out you want to wake up, and you do. If your emotions are to out of control in your dream you'll usually wake up. If you don't want to see the dream try closing your 'dream' eyes.
