Hi!

Hi, my name is Matthew. I've been into lucid dreaming for quite some time now, but never taken it seriously. Lately I can't seem to remember any of my dreams I just fall asleep wake up and don't remember anything.

Welcome to the Community Yeah recall takes practice but it's not normally hard to attain. Just be sure to check out the tutorials. Good luck with your dreams!

Hi! When you wake up in the morning, try lying very still with your eyes closed. Your brain will start to think you plan on going back to sleep, so your memory of your last dream may come flooding back to you. Keep up a dream journal and you're well on your way.

Welcome Matthew There have been a few occasions where I had to build my recall up from scratch... I try to wake up anywhere from 15-30 mins earlier than I am meant to, so I have the extra time to devote to recalling. If I can remember absolutely nothing, I will ask myself, "How am I feeling right now? Is this different from when I went to sleep last night? Did something happen yesterday that influenced the way I feel now?" In my dream journal, I record how I am feeling. I try to think of things in waking life, or things I've dreamed of in the past that have caused me to feel this way. Sometimes, that will snap back a scene from last night, sometimes it doesn't. I generally get two different types of feelings when I wake up. I get "The Black Void," in which I can tell that my dreams were merely thoughts running through my head all night. There were no images/plot/people whathaveyou. In these cases, the feelings technique is all I'm really going to get, so I write what I have and start my day. The other feeling is the "On the Tip of My Tongue" feeling, which describes how it feels for me when I know I've had a dream, I have a vague picture in my head that is really cloudy. Sometimes I get just a colour, or an object or an idea of what I might be looking at. So I take and try to pry open the scene up. What's that colour? A wall, A chair? A beach? I keep asking questions, trying to get that lightbulb that opens up the scene. I ask if certain people were present. I ask if certain plots were present. What was on my mind before I fell asleep? Did it manifest itself? If I get the lightbulb and the scene opens up then woot!! From there, I can start reliving the dream backwards and recall as much as I can. I handwrite my journal, so sometimes I have to keep my notepad beside me as I recall new things. I have to stop, write a note about the new thing, and continue on Good luck, I hope something in here can help you to recall more of your dreams!!

Im on spring holidays right now so I have a lot of time. I got a few sheets of paper and a pen on my table ready in case I wake up in the middle of the night and remember a dream so I can write it down.
