I started doing the dream journal thing yesterday. I had recorded about 6 dreams. I woke up a lot during the night, and I would quickly write down whatever I could remember. I have a question: I had a dream that I was writing my dreams down in my dream journal. Does this normally happen so fast? It seemed real. But when I woke up I knew it wasn't because my bedroom looked different in the dream.

It doesn't count as a Lucid Dream until you actually know that you are dreaming in the dream and take control.

Lots of times you dream of things that you have thought of throughout the day. Your brain has to come up with ideas to use to have dreams and sometimes it uses bits and pieces of your day to put a dream together.

And how fast things happen is different from person to person some people are naturals at it, but most are not and take some time to get the hang of it.

I think sometimes if I wake up after I have been sleeping and dreaming and then go back to sleep I have lucid dreams because I go back to the same dream but it's like I have more control over it and it's like my imagination is controlling my dream and it almost doesn't feel like a dream. It almost feels like I am daydreaming but it is very realistic.

Hi MissGeorgiaMae you very well may be lucid dreaming. In fact the way you explain it sounds like you have done a DEILD: Dream Exit Initiated Lucid Dream. Basically you wake from a dream and imediatly wake up and go back to sleep and enter the same dream you just woke up from and enter a lucid dream. I have not covered this yet in my series but will come later along with some other methods. You should look into this more, because if your already doing it, most of the battle is won. :)

I love when it happens because if I'm having a bad dream I can change it :). Thanks for the vids they are very informative and you know your stuff!

[malkuth74]

Thank you so much. And keep working on those lucid dreams they can be very entertaining. :)

My lucid dreams have always started with me standing at the same window in my house, realizing i an dreaming, and then jumping out the window. Since the window is always there, can i use that to create more lucid dreams somehow?

[MonicaKn17]

I've had two lucid dreams so far, and i remember them being amazingly HD and detailed and i was fully conscious inside the dreams, but when i wake up i cannot directly recall the dream. i can recall what i did, and my emotions and what i thought during the dream, but not to the extent that i can remember real life events. How can i improve dream recall? To actually remember what happened more clearly and be able to visualize my experiences like i can do with real life events?

I have long ass dreams so I just started typing them out...think that's ok ?

when ever i try the wild method i just black out and wake up like 20 minutes later. is this normal?

I don't understand the importance of the dream journal. I can remember most of my dreams. I thhave really good natural dream recall though.

Anyways, here's my method. It works for clarifying the memory of dreams and remembering dreams I forgot of.

1) Think of one dream that you can vividly remember. This will warm up your brain for dream recall.

2) Think of one specific thing in that dream. ie: a train or person.

You may now be splitting off into different dreams.

i use to lucid dream all the time when i was younger and i thought it was just my special power..but for some reason i don't dream like that anymore..hopefully this will help..i loved my lucid dreams lol

I started to have a lucid dream and i guess when i found out it was a dream, i was shocked and immediately woke up. However, the next night i discovered something. If you are about to phase out of the dream, just spin around in the dream. Your head gets all fuzzy like and you get immediately back into the dream, It depends though, sometimes it may be a different dream your starting...but that dream will usually be lucid. This actually works too!
