Hi everyone,

Just joined the forums today and wanted to say hello

I've had no lucid dreams before, but after reading the articles i do realise that in a lot of dreams i was at the point of recognizing it is a lucid dream but, as said before, my attention got drifted away.

The reason why i joined this forum is quite awkward tho..

Because for the past 3 years i havent been able to remember a single dream, or at least not detailed at all. But 2 days ago i've had a really intense dream and i can still remember every detail. The thing is i really wanted to have that dream again xD Or atleast be at that place, so i was surfing around about dream control and ended up here

And to be honest i never thought that it was actually possible. Im glad it is.

Unfortunatly i seem to have some problems in remembering my dreams. Last night i tried and i set my alarm to 4.5 hours of sleep, to my surprise i woke up remembering a rather.... strange dream, anyway when i woke up this morning i had nothing.. not even a glimpse so i would be really gratefull if anyone could give me some tips to remeber them.. I already went through the tutorials etc.. but maybe somebody knows something else

Glad to be here and i hope ill have a concious lucid dream once

Regards,
Riven

, Riven!

If you want to remember your dreams, the best way is to get up and write them down immediately. If you put it off, you are likely to forget. Keep something to write with handy so you will be able to do it easily.

Otherwise, you're on the right track. Recall is the first step.

Riven, I'm glad you decided to join us!

Moonbeam gave you some sound advice!

You might try telling your subconscioius to wake you up after each dream or to wake you up about 15 minutes before your alarm goes off (I know it sounds stupid but you'd be surprised how accomodating your subconscious can be).

Once you wake up.. do not move! Think about the dream that you just had.. If nothing comes to mind.. try to remember if there was a specific person, place, thing, food or emotion in the dream. Once you come up with even a tidbit of the dream.. try to work your way backward.. how did you get there.. who was with you, etc.

I keep a small memo pad open with a pen clipped to the spiral next to my pillow. When I wake up from dream, I don't turn on the lights, nor open my eyes.. I just reach for the pad and start writing.

No one says that you have to write a "book" about the dreams you had in your journal. For me, if I'm too tired (or lazy), simply writing down the main topic/subject, and a word or two or a feeling is enough for me to recall a dream.

Some people just write snippets of their dreams.. others write paragraphs, some put images, or feelings, others draw pictures.. whatever helps to bring a dream back to you when you read over it the next morning is appropriate.

As for this site.. you might want to review the Newbie Zone Guide for helpful information about this site: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=36723

You might also want to check out the Tutorials forum which contains information on the various lucid dreaming techniques and other helpful stuff: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=25

Thanks alot for the replies

And yeh i already had a little writing pad near me, but i guess my problem was the second i woke up i bashed on my light and in excitement tried to rember my dream.. which kinda likely came up blank.. xD So i am going to try the method of keeping still and writing it down

So thanks again for the warm welcome and tips
