Mastermind, I hate writing anything down. So instead of writing down everything about my day I decided to try just reviewing it all in my mind. I've done this about 4 times today and went over everything I did in real life and Runescape in extreme detail. The longest dream i've recorded since i have started has been a little over a paragraph. After using your technique for one day here are my results. My first ever page long dream. I actually enjoyed writing it and knew a few of the characters in real life and found some signs that will probably hopefully be able to help me achieve lucidity! *note I also almost DILD which i've never done. I was only one role away. Mastermind I love your technique and am actually grateful i read it. - zerk

I would have logged three dreams last night but after making an attempt to re-enter a non-lucid dream I ended up forgetting it all together instead of writing it down right after I had it. I have been writing the events of my day just before I go to sleep, so far it's been great thanks again MASTERMIND!! What's strange to me it that I have been logging my first dream within 2 hours of going to sleep, so very early in my sleep cycle.

Interesting, I still haven't had a chance to do this but I plan to give it a roll tonight, possibly 20minutes before bed and I plan to be as specific as possible(time, details, etc....) Who knows, maybe I can recall some dreams tonight

Nice This seems to work for everyone. I'm so glad that I could help you try to write it down and see if you remember more

Not maybe You will, hopefully haha

Ok... This recall method has helped me to find the "lucid dream induction" that fits me, and my everyday best. From Monday-Friday I will do a reality check (looking on the ground, it works for me somehow) during the day and write down my day. Then when I go to sleep I will affirm that I will look on the ground in my dream and become lucid. But if I wake up during the night I try to remember to chain the dream. And when I wake up the next morning I record the dream. In the weekend Friday-Sunday I will do the same thing =)

And if you translate this into "techniques" I have coverd MILD,DILD and WILD everyday

And I finaly understand WHY recall is the most important for lucid dreaming

I tried that last night but it didn't work for me.

Do you have to write it on paper? I typed mine on the computer a couple hours before sleeping.

How close to going to sleep did you write it?

I usually write it down when I come home from school, but they key is to write down your day in a dreamjournalish way xD except that this is the waking life.
and write it down as detailed as you want your dream to be I write mine in the DreamJournal program like a separated journal.

Well, I'll try, try again I guess.

I've also been drinking apple juice before bed because I read it gives you vivid dreams but that doesn't work either.
