      Problems with Dream Recall

      Hi everyone,

      I have been trying to have a lucid dream for 7 or 8 days now. Since then, I have been reading plenty of material and I'm very motivated to improve my dream recall first and then to start enjoying lucid dreams later.

      I actually had a super brief lucid dream on day 2 but I got so excited that even the spinning technique didn't work. I was probably unprepared - I hadn't even thought about what I would do!

      Anyways, I have been having problems with dream recall. I have a notebook next to my bed and every day I go to bed motivated to remember my dreams but I haven't been able to remember a single dream in the last 8 days.

      Does anyone have any tips to improve dream recall?

      Regards

      AL

      Yes a simple way to help remember your dreams is to wake up during your dreams. Do this by awakening during a REM period, (set your alarm, or try to train yourself by auto suggestion). If you wake up during one of these periods, you will just have experienced it, and therefore remember it. (try not to move upon awakening, movement lowers the recall)

      ^What he said. Set your alarm for the middle of the night, then record any dreams you can remember when it goes off. When you wake up(anytime, not just when the alarm goes off), don't start moving and thinking about your day, try to remember any dream you had. Recall will always improve with practice, except when a cursed try spell hits.

      you can try laying still as soon as you wake up in the morning. Think how you feel....is any particular thought in your head? you can just lay still and think, and see if that jogs your memory.

      Even if all you have is one image. Right it down. THe more detail, the better.

      Also, best results will be had if you keep a regular sleep schedule.

      Stay perfectly still with your eyes closed. After a few minutes your brain thinks that it's going back to sleep so it turns on all of it's dreaming parts again, the memory is the first. Your dreams should come back to you then.
