Only been here 3 days, but my dream recall is getting good

The last couple of days I've had about 7 dreams, and I've actually remembered all of them. The first couple of them I only had jot lists of people and settings, but my last 3 or so I've been able to write full page summaries in my dream journal.

I wonder if this is because I've been more focused or just because I've been trying. I keep telling myself "I will remember this dream and I will wake up after it" And I've woken up after every individual dream. It's kind of scary.......

I am still trying to become lucid within a dream though. It happened during my third dream but I was so excited I woke up out of it. It's hard getting into the habit of doing reality checks during the day, it just feels awkward at times and I don't know what to do. But oh well, another night, another dream...............

Congrats on your improved dream recall. Most people find that their recall improves pretty quickly once they decide they are going to do something about it. Your dream journal is probably the best way to go about improving.

Good luck tonight and I hope you succeed in having a great LD!

Hey LRon2k,

I'm in just about the same boat as you. Have just been doing RCs and journaling for a few days. The very first night I think I had a LD but it was over really fast and I don't remember much of it. Then night before last I had one for sure (it was a very intense sexual dream) I kept thinking, "I don't believe this is happening...I'm having sex with two women in my dream!" :shock: :lol:

So you might say I'm pretty motivated to do RCs and keep good journals now. :) What I'm going to focus on next time is to calm down and focus when I realize I'm lucid to try to make it last longer. I've read that's the key. Good luck!
