Thread: Hey there, I'm new!

I've been following this forum for 3 days, and i am very interested in lucid dreaming, so I decided to register and ask you some help! My name is Gojiralis and I'm from Italy. I have some troubles with dream recalling, i can remember only a moment or two for each dream, and i have started a dream journal and I've been using that 'autosuggestion' thing. I do believe I'll spend very good time on this forum, you're amazing guys!

Welcome to DV Gojiralis

Recall is something that you slowly build up over time. Just as with regular memory it gets better the more you use it. Try lying still when you wake up, you should then relax and try to remember your dreams. Don't force yourself but rather let the dreams come to you. If you relax your brain will think you're about to fall asleep and your "dream memory" will be accessed. If you get a fragment or an image of a scene, try to expand it, probe that scene and find out exactly what happened in your dream.

Details are a must if you want a great recall, so start writing everything you recall down. Details, colours, words, etc.

If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you, I will try!

Do there is no try!

If you try you can fail, if you do you can learn and understand.

You can of course learn and understand when you fail as well, but believe me if you think of your attempt as a failure it will drag you down and you will not consider it as an oppurtunity for learning. When I first started out I approached lucid dreaming with trying, and well I failed. But then I approached it with the goal of learning, and in order to learn you have to observe. By observing my attempt I learned this: http://www.dreamviews.com/f15/if-you...ams-try-93005/

I know I totally overanalyzed your single sentence. xD But I just want to point this out for you, so you understand that you shouldn't give primary focus to success or failure, bust mostly to learning.

The link I gave you is not a method of how to remember your dreams, even though it might seem bullet proof because so many people have liked and comment.
It should be seen as a tool to help you practise YOUR own memory (short-term), so you can give the credit to yourself and realize your own potential.

Ps. Remember that this was some time ago, so I was a total beginner when I wrote all my replies in that thread, so ignore as much of the crazy theories I might have had. And observe and learn from your own experience first and foremost. ^-^

Sweet dreams and enjoy your stay!

That's why I love this forum, fast and very useful answers! Thank you!
