Different beds and dream recall

Ok, so the last week or so my dream recall suddenly stopped and ive been having no dreams, not even small fragments. So last night im lying in my bed but i cant sleep, so i decide to sleep in the guest room bed (Which is more comfortable than my own for some reason). I ended up remembering four dreams in one night (Most ive ever remembered in one night) and they were kinda long dreams too. Im considering abandoning my crappy bed and moving into the nice guest room bed =). Is the fact that i slept on another bed other than my own, that I got my dream recall back?, or is it because the guest room bed is more comfortable.

Probably both!

Since you're not sleeping where you normally do, you might also be sleeping lighter (less deeply) which could help with your recall.

I agree with Clairity. I had a similar experience, here's the link: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/inde...howtopic=31514

Thanks for the replies, I guess this finally explains why i had my first lucid dreams back in march when i moved into a new home. Im guessing if i keep sleeping in the guest room then I would get used to it and move to a different part of the house, anyways thanks alot, this really encourages me to have more hope in lucid dreaming knowing how much more easier it will be now =)

And when you get used to the guest room, go back to your normal room! Or maybe flip the matress? Move the bed? I find sleeping in one place too long too... Stoic. I like changing things up every now and then.

Try sleeping at the opposit end of the bed =D

Like...wherever your head is, move it to the opposite side.

I've mentioned this before too, since my kids have been born I've been bounced around in and out of all kinds of different beds as well as the couch. I noticed a burst in dreaming almost every time I changed beds, but it quickly goes away. I also notice that if I change up my binaural beats tracks I get better results too, maybe change is the key. Tonight I'm going to "switch ends" like Sandform suggested, next best thing to changing beds I think.

Feet to the door? No, no, that's awful Feng Shui.

I think it might be the fact that you know or hope that your new bed will change something? And your mind has the thought embedded in ti saying: OH joy! A new bed! This should help my dreams! And it ends up doing that? I don't know. Just a suggestion
