I read about dream recall last night before I went to bed, in hopes of remembering more. I woke up between REM's and wrote down my dreams. I remembered all of them quite vividly. I find dream recall quite effortless. I had about 3 dreams, i woke up after each one. Each dream had about 2-3 different events in each one. I wrote them down in a journal, and after reading it, I remembered even more. I usually remember my dreams anyways, so I think I seem to be dialed in to my dreams. Do I need to have any other skills in order to have a lucid dream.
