I don't want to make everyone jealous or anything, but my recall has been great lately, and I have no idea why. I've been very busy and stressed out lately, and dreaming has not been on my mind much. I keep expecting my recall to go straight to poops, but the dreams keep coming. I haven't even been recording my dreams very well. Just jotting down quick notes. I know I am forgetting my dreams because I'm not recording them properly, but I definitely remember them vividly as soon as I wake.
I can't understand what causes these dry spells. I know I've had long dry spells when I was doing everything right. Reality checks, awareness meditations, low stress level, consistent sleep schedule. During the dry spell, nothing seemed to help.
Now I'm crazy stressed at work, working overtime. I haven't had a consistent sleep or exercise schedule. I've been going out of town, sleeping in hotels. I dug up my back yard and poured two tons of concrete single handed. I'm re-roofing my house right as I'm planning a barbecue for my girlfriend's birthday. I'm having multiple dreams per night, and two to three spontaneous lucids per week. I can't pin down what I'm doing right.
Glad to see you brother ! Been thinking about you and missing you !
Even gladder to hear recalls and dreaming have been good ! Who cares why, enjoy the experience and put it down to one of lifes great mysteries
