Thread: Hi all, Joan's there! newbie with some experiences...

Hi Joan,

Didn't mean to make you confused and there are probably quite a few here that would disagree with my advice but that is there perogative.
Anyway. I believe that your dream recall will improve without the need to wake yourself up by simply doing a journal entry whenever you remember a dream, doing it frequently and making it a habit. Combine that with reality checks and an LD should come to you. Just doing reality checks will not improve your dream recall, you need the journal for that.
Give it a couple of weeks for the habits to form and then try to encourage an LD by using any of the techniques available to find what works for you. For me its WILD during an afternoon siesta.

Best wishes and good luck.
