Is it easier to remember a WILD than a normal dream?

I don't actively practice dream recall, maybe I should, but I was just wondering if you get into an LD using WILD will you be more likely to remember the dream than if you just had a normal dream during the night? The reason I ask because if it is then I may just skip the working on dream recall phase and focus more on master WILD.

A LD is easier to remember than a normal one, so, yes, it is. DILD/WILD are easier to remember than a normal dream. Then again, if you have no recall, forgetting a LD, be it from DILD/WILD, can happen.

DILDs are easier to remember than regular dreams, and WILDs can be easier to remember than DILDs. This might have something to do with the fact that you're going from a waking state directly into the dream state.

But you should still keep a dream journal and have minimum recall, because not everyone can remember their WILDs that clearly.

I agree with the Puffster. It's always good to have a dream journal no matter what.

Yeah it definitely couldn't hurt. It would be nice to remember dreams anyways even if they aren't lucid, then at least you have to something instead of nothing if it doesn't work out.
