Aspiring lucid dreamers are always told that the first thing they need to do is to work on their dream recall. And that is for a very good reason. What is the point of having lucid dreams if you can't remember them? It is possible to forget lucid dreams, just like with normal dreams. Training your dream recall will also help you get familiar with what your dreams are usually like, which can also help you become lucid.
Increasing your dream recall doesn't have to be very hard or time consuming, you might just need a push in the right direction. There is more to good dream recall than keeping a dream journal, and day-to-day factors can influence your dream recall on a short and/or a long term basis.
Though your workbooks are not all that important for this workshop, I would still like you to start one. Your dream journals are more important than your workbooks this time, as your dream journal is your most important tool for training your dream recall. Your workbooks will mostly be used to keep track of your progress throughout the workshop.
Participants, please go ahead and create your workbooks. When you have done so, please answer these questions and post them in it:
-How many dreams do you remember a week on average?
-How many hours of sleep do you get a night on average? You can separate workdays/school days from days off.
-How do you wake up in the morning? (Alarm clock, someone awakens you, or other means)
-Do you consider yourself a light or a heavy sleeper?
Answering these questions will help me be able to give you better personal advice and feedback.
Also, please make yourself a goal for how much you wish to increase your dream recall and post it in your workbook.
