Hello oneironauts,

I just wanted to share with you my very recent experience on dream recall but first I wanted to describe “environment” a little.
I have been on and off the dream experiments, purely because I have much trouble remembering my dreams and yes I have been trying to keep my dream journal for a while. It did help me a little with the recall but not very much. I’m doing a lot of meditation mostly because I am interested in raising the Kundalini energy. I do a bit of chakra meditation, so hum, and few other types in conjunction, depending on a day I do one or combination I find the most appropriate at the time.

Recently I have found out about brain stimulation with low current electricity called tDCS, transcranial direct current stimulation. I am quite interested in neuroscience and everything relating to mind and perception so I have done an extensive research and according to many scientific papers from around the world it is regarded as quite safe method with no side effects, it has been known for over 100 years but recently it is getting a new momentum, there is a lot of research going on. Benefits include treating depression, improving memory, improving cognitive abilities and much more. Electric current by flowing through the brain causes slight changes or increase in neural activity. There is a lot more to it but I am going to stop here and come back to the subject. I have decided to make myself the device and try it.

After using this device for few weeks I can say it did make my depression go away and I feel much happier. But the one interesting effect what it did to me is that I started to remember much more dreams and I have to say a lot more not just few. They are also very clear, not hazy and thorn to pieces as I used to have. I have changed electrode montage recently from depression to memory and learning and this has really made a difference in dream recall.

I will keep using this montage now to find out how much improvement in dreams I can get. If anyone is interested you can find a lot of info just googling tdcs diy and parts required to make it are really cheap.
