Well as for the first question, your dream recall will increase as you keep writing them down. Improvments can start in as soon as a week, it all depends on the person. |

Alright, first off I'm trying to improve my dream recall. I think I can recall around one dream every 2-3 days, or 2 dreams in the same period - that's if I'm lucky. Since I've started to keep a DJ, how long should I expect it to be before I start noticing improvements? |

Ah, alright. Thanks for the answer. I was hoping it'd be 100% recall after the first entry though xD Mrr, I guess I wasn't clear on the 2nd question. What I meant was, is it common to have dreams where you (in person) are not part of the dream? |

I haven't become lucid in a dream yet. I just feel as though I'm a passive presence in dreams. |

When you begin to feel heavy, its probably your body transitioning into sleep paralysis. Just go with it and let the process follow out. |

What affirmation technique are you using? It sounds like you'd be a good subject for self-hypnosis if you experienced feelings of heaviness. The technique may work better for you than on others for that reason. |

Don't worry if it takes a few days to get your dream recall up. Remember, you are building new habits, and that can take some time. Also, don't underestimate the power of autosuggestion. Just tell yourself that you will remember your dreams. It sounds silly, but it works really well for most people. |

When you wake up, lay perfectly still and your dreams should come back to you after a minute. It's because your brain thinks that because you aren't moving that you're going back to sleep and turns on the dream centre of the brain again (including the dream memory.) |
