Thread: What's the average number of Dreams recalled in one night?

Hi,

Just a general question regarding the average number of dreams recalled in one night or your average night of sleep. (Say between 6-8hrs.)

Try not to include Dream snippets or fragments if you can, unless they are highly significant.

It doesn't really matter if the dreams are lucid or not.

I'm asking this question because over the last week or two I have only been remembering dream segments or snippets or only remember one dream a night.

My average previously was 1-2 good dreams recalled. If I was gonna get a (DILD) LD that night (early morning), then my nightly recall average would go to 3-4 dreams recalled in good detail. (Especially if I woke up in the middle of the night.)

However last night (after a small cup of apple juice - which I read about on this site,) my recall jumped to 5 dreams last night with very good detail & excellent recall.

(In one of the dreams the text & lettering was as clear as day, not blurry - which is a bit worrying for me as it stops me questioning it as a dream because I don't look at the text a second time!)

The one problem I have is that it can be quite knackering writing the dreams down as I can write a big 'essay' on each. I know I should persevere & not try to winge as good recall is the precursor to LD. They are like brother & sister. I'm not saying this for a 'quick fix' or a shortcut.

Note I do keep a journal.

Hopefully the apple juice is not a placebo effect on me, or a flash in the pan. (Eg: It might be just my digestion system working & acting on the brain?) I will only know this after a week or so. However it does give you a 'kick' if you are having a dry spell, but I don't know long term?

Regards,

RobStar.

P.S. (Apologies to all if there is a similar, or same thread relating to this question on the DV site?)
