Hey guys, I'm pretty new, only found all this out about a week ago and been keeping the DJ for a few nights, but I'm pretty excited about the adventure.

I've always been extremely bad at recalling dreams, but I'm very willing to work at it. Like I said I've started my dream journal, but usually, upon waking i can only remember photo-like frames of a dream, and only one or two pieces of dialogue (If I'm lucky!). I have my DJ right next to my bed and have been waking up approx. 6 hours after sleeping to record a dream, then recording one when i fully wake up. I also try to go to sleep with my thoughts focused on remembering my dreams.

I was just wondering if anyone else who has progressed to lucidity started with such bad recall abilities? And how long did it take you? Also, with practice, are you able to recall your dreams vividly even after being awake for 10 minutes or so? That is, can you recall your previous dreams throughout the day? Like I said i am very willing to work at it, I was just wondering if anyone could give me a timeline of how long it took them. And of course, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
