Hey, so I didn't really know much about lucid dreaming before, and somehow recently stumbled upon it, did some research and it really interested me. So I started a dream diary type thing, to help better my dream recall, but I still have trouble remembering my dreams at all. Any suggestions?

Hey, so I didn't really know much about lucid dreaming before, and somehow recently stumbled upon it, did some research and it really interested me. So I started a dream diary type thing, to help better my dream recall, but I still have trouble remembering my dreams at all. Any suggestions? Just keep writing everything down. Getting my dream recall up from nothing to 1 dream per night was easy for me, it took me about 2-3 days. I thought it was gonna take much longer, but it turned out to be easy for me. Ofcourse it could differ for you.

Avoid depressants before bed (alcohol and sleeping pills). Also, try to get enough sleep, and the same amount, each night (did you know getting 7 hours of sleep for three days is healthier than getting 5 hours, 5 hours, and 11? Or any other combination, for that matter!). Keeping these biological factors constant will only improve the likelihood of remembering dreams! When you wake up, think: what were you feeling? Happy, sad, guilty, tired? If you can't remember a dream, try writing emotions. Also, before bed, think about your intention to remember your dreams. Remember dreams you've had in the past (even from childhood) as you go to sleep. Once your brain catches on to your intention to remember, you will gain that recall skill. Don't give up! It may take a while to develop! Nice username, by the way.

No, I don't take any medication at all. I usually get about the same amount of sleep every night. Hmm, I'll try writing the emotion things down, usually im just annoyed I have to get out of bed, but I'll think deeper about it. Oh yea, I'm a trumpet player I picked that name up a year or so ago for things like this and it stuck. Thanks
