Chapter 4
Dream Recall
Have you ever dreamt of something and the dream was so good that when you work up that you forgot? Well, this is what dream recall is. Dream recall is when you remember your dreams. Anyone who claims that they don’t dream, it is a fib. Dream recall really helps lucid dreaming. It helps you remember details of your dreams. Some people have a hard time remaining focus when they wake up. Focus is the key to dream recall. Also is a good night sleep. In this chapter… we will teach you methods of how to improve your dream recall. As a good lucid dreamer once said “…we ALL dream, but some remember more than others.”
Developing a stronger memory is sufficient in dream recall. Play memory games and practice everyday. Always keep a dream journal by your side if you wish to write details of your dreams down. Writing dreams down makes you more of a sufficient recaller. If you only remember bits and pieces of a dream then still write it down! When you read your dream journal, you can remember more of that dream or motivate yourself to keep trying to remember your next dream. Dreaming is also caused by REM.
REM is Rapid Eye Movement. REM causes your mind to create images or as we call “Dreams”. If you awake during REM periods, then you can record your dreams easier. It is very hard to wake right after REM periods. If you keep telling yourself what you want then you can remember your dreams easier. Try to practice waking up during REM Periods. First try after one hour of REM then the next and then keep going and going until you get the hang of it. If you practice hard enough… you can control your dreams.
If you focus hard enough, you can control your dreams. There are methods, as I said before, that I will gladly discuss with you. The first method of dream recall is to focus your intent on remembering your dreams before you fall asleep. If you don’t you’ll forget when your next dream comes up. The second method is to not let irrelevant things reduce your intent on controlling a dream. For some people, saying out loud your desire helps you remember better. I know it’s dumb but it really does help for some people to say to themselves “I will remember my dream and I will remember when I wake up”. The third method is to make sure that your last thought in your head is your desire to remember the dream. It really does make it easier but you must try hard to achieve. “Nothing in life ever comes easy.”
Some lucid dreamers have tips for all you inspiring dreamers. Our long time friend,CanceledCzech says “For me the things that really help are a regular
sleep cycle, meditation before bed, and a non-stressful life. my recall was very good in july and june when i had a regular schedule and had no responsiblities besides feeding myself.” BossBadger says “My recall is(bad) when I am stressed but meditation really does help.On the other hand, if it's extreme stress (like I'm really sick
or someone died) my dreams tend to be more vivid and usually disturbing.” Try to relax and just let your stress just fly away like a butterfly. “I try using autosuggestion to remember my dreams and write them down in the morning.If I cant remember them right away, I usually do remember in the shower. I think its because the hot water is soothing, thus causing me to think less and remember dreams.” I like to thank the contributors.

Dream recall isn’t hard. If you go to the website, you have many people there to help you out. There are members,dream guiders, and moderators. Post in our forums and you can never go wrong with the answer. We can help by giving you tutorials or interpret you dreams. Never be afraid to ask someone. You’ll never know… maybe the answer is in your dreams.

Will try my hand at editing it tonight.

Chapter 4
Dream Recall -

Have you ever dreamt of something and the dream was so good that when you work up that you forgot? Ever had a memorable dream, but after awakening, the details of that dream seemed quite vague, if not altogether absent entirely? Well, this is what dream recall is. Dream recall is a critical tool for the would-be lucid dreamer aspiring to remember his/her dreams. Dream recall is when you remember your dreams. Anyone who claims that they don’t dream, it is a fib. There are many who say they do not dream at night, - this simply isn't true. What they mean to say is that they merely do not remember their dreams. Dream recall really helps lucid dreaming. Getting in the habitual practice of recalling your dreams before getting out of bed will gradually help you remember even the most minutest of details from your bed-ridden nightly escapades. Some people have a hard time remaining focus when they wake up. Some find it incredibly difficult to maintain a state of focus upon awakening. Consistent practice will yield consistent progress. Focus is the key to dream recall. Also is a good night sleep. A well rested mind, body and the ability to maintain your focus when recalling your dreams are vital components that makeup successful dream recall. In this chapter… we will teach you you'll learn simple (yet effective) methods of how to improve your dream recall. that when applied can dramatically improve your ability to recall your dreams. As a goodA proficient lucid dreamer once said:

“…we all dream, but some remember more than others.”

Developing a stronger memory is sufficient in dream recall. Cultivating your attention span can be done by using simple exercises. See how long you can hold a thought in your head without fleeting thoughts interfering. Play memory games as often as needed, - be they card games or electronic games. Results are entirely dependent upon your will to practice consistently. Always Keep a dream journal by your bed side and jot down key words that relate to fragments of the dream you had. Writing these dreams in detail isn't necessary until you wake up. It helps to have a small light source handy when jotting in the wee hours of the morning. Writing dreams down makes you more of a sufficient recaller. If you only remember bits and pieces of a dream then still write it down! After you awoken, open up your dream journal and from memory, begin to expound on the key words you jotted down. You will begin to remember more of the dream from that night as opposed to the fragments you might normally remember under previous circumstances. Dreaming is also caused by REM.

Finished the first half. If anyone would like to edit my edit, please make it a version 2.0 Will work on the last half later on tonight.
