      I'm new to the forum... but I'm really interested in lucid dreaming. I've had a few in my life... but now I'm having some serious serious trouble with dream recall. Does anyone have any advice on how to improve this? I've been doing the thing where you ask yourself if your dreaming throughout the day and then write "I will remember my dreams down" before I go to bed and telling myself I'm going to remember as im going to sleep but i'm really having trouble with it. Sometimes I'll remember my dreams but I dont think I have at all in like the last week and a half. Do you guys use anything else that helps you? Lately i've been busy with school and have only been able to get about 5 or so hours of sleep is it impossible to remember with this little sleep? isn't it after about 4.5 hours that you hit REM sleep and shouldn't i remember if im just waking up after this? Thanks!

      Dream Journal. Write down any little memory that you have. Be consistent. Do it every day. If you stick with it long enough, your recall will improve.

      Try to get more sleep as well.

      Welcome to the forum. As carlhungis has already stated, a dream journol is the best thing to keep. Write something down, even if you can&#39;t remember, and eventually, you&#39;ll remember something. Then, you&#39;ll remember more and more than you did. Also, try taking a bit of vitamin b12. It&#39;s good for the memory.
      Shine on, you crazy diamond!

      Umm,

      Lack of sleep seriously inhibits your recall I have found. I used to recall everyday but now I on World of Warcraft until late I am not getting much sleep and my recall has slipped significantly. Recall seems to be built up gradually and I did it like the other guys said by journalling absolutely anything I could remember about my dreams each and every day. You shoulld really keep a notepad and pen by your bed and as soon as you awake stay laying down and let your mind search for images, emotions and feelings - it is likely you will latch onto something and then a stream of the dream will start coming back to you - mine usually come to me in reverse and I have to put it together in the right order. I go over it a few times in my head to aid memory and I write down the basics step by step of the dream so that I can write it out fully later. You can actually with practice and with a good memory get some frightening long recalls&#33;

      Good Luck&#33;

      That game is so addictive I know quite a few people who don&#39;t do much else. It&#39;s worrying

      Indeed. It&#39;s probably obvious but you&#39;ll need to seriously cut down on how much you play that game if you want your recall to improve to its former level.

      Yeah I have actually started keeping a journal for about a week or so now. I think my problem is being rushed in the morning too it doesn&#39;t leave alot of time to go over my dreams. Is it possible to remember the dreams you have earlier in the night with practice or do you have to wake up after each one? When i remember anything with my dreams its usually the ones right before I wake up... unless for some reason the dream woke me up. Like this morning I woke up around 9 and realized I was dreaming something about dream recall and lucid dreams... probably from reading so much on this forum lol. but i fell back asleep for like 30 mins n after that 30 mins i couldn&#39;t remember any of the details. vitamin b12 huh? yeah some of the other boards on here said something about vitamin b6... so i bought some of that today hopefully it&#39;ll help
