Thread: Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Dreamviews Swenny

The vividness will increase in time. When I first started out my dreams felt like distant memories and when I woke up from some aware moments of my dreams, it just felt well very distant, like if you think back to a very old memory. Although now after some time of practising, even my non-lucid dreams are super vivid, I wake up almost every morning with a WTF-shock.

Sort of like you would wake up right now and realize "Wait.. Was that just a dream? Holy macarony!"

The positve side of that is that it's really enjoyable to just dream normally even if I am not lucid, the downside is that it's harder to realize it is a dream because it feels more real.

One good way to increase your vividness of your dreams is to practise dream recall, because when you try to recall your dreams you are in a way setting your intention to be more aware of your dreams, in order to remember them. And intention is (as you will soon learn) a very effective tool for anything, but especially lucid dreaming.

I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope you get many sweet (vivid) dreams!

Thanks for the reply MasterMind! I'm glad to know there is still hope. So do you think that using a mantra like "I remember vivid dreams" could be helpful (in addition to practicing SDA and keeping a dream journal)?
