Hi and welcome, hrmm when you say you've had a dream journal, do you wake up after each dream period? That could help if your recall is bad. Maybe some B6 could help out. |

After reading the posts around DV I'm kinda discouraged - I've been keeping a dream journal for years, but my recall still isn't so great. Sometimes I get 3 dreams a night and think I've cracked it, then I suddenly get nothing for a while. Does anyone else have recall that comes and goes? I thought that was normal, but after reading the posts on DV I don't know. I've never tried to control my dreams though, so maybe that's what kickstarts steady recall. I managed to look at my hands in a dream last night. Wow! |

Welcome to the site SoulTraveller, I personally don't keep a dream journal and I have some outstanding recall, but I have been able to have lucid dreams since I was still a very little kid so that might assist with it, and I can pretty much recall after every dream, but it does take some practice I spose'. Just read around the forums for some tips and stuff on how to gain lucidity, recall, etc. And you should get off to a good start. |

Yeah, I've experienced the same thing. Once in a while the dreams will seem so vivid and so many, yet the next day you can't remember a single dream! |

Can you also have one big, giant dream that lasts for a long time? and how do you know when you change dreams? It doesn't really make sense. email me at [email protected]. |

Thanks for this - it's good to know someone else has the same problem. Maybe the only reliable aid to waking after REM is something like the novadreamer, but most of the advice on DV seems to be to trust your subconscious to wake you up after REM, so I'm going with that for now and will look at the various devices in a couple months if I don't have start getting more consistent dream recall by then. |

Yes, but can't you also have one, big dream that lasts a long time instead of lots of short dreams? I see people's posts saying, "number of LD's this week: 10" and I'd think of having 7, one big LD/night for a week. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? |

I see what you mean. (i think) If one would have 10 lds in 7 nights does that mean in one rem sesion you would aknowledge that your in a dream then lose it after that rem period, then in the next period you relize your dreaming again. But along the same lines could they just count waking up and going back to sleep two different dreams..... OR (wow i just keep going) when you wake up that is the end of a rem period. Well as someone whos never had an ld i hope i made sense and didn't realy make ppl more confused. |
