Recalling Ordinary Dreams

Original Source ↗

How did recalling ordinary Dreams affect the statistics of Lucid Dreams?

This is solely my personal opinion, without claim to universality. It did have an effect, tending towards an increase in both quantity and level of lucidity. But I'm almost certain – the catch lies in the initial task set. In answering the question "WHY AM I DOING THIS?" In the intention. If it is merely about recalling and recording Dreams as such, and an explorer does not awaken in the recorder, then it is unlikely to have a significant impact. We remember, don't we, that the crux of the matter is the notorious level of personal power!! :) Without working to increase it – recalling and recording Dreams will remain a "horizontal movement." But at a minimum – it trains the stability of attention. Focus. It establishes a "connecting thread" between wakefulness and sleep. It also develops observational skills and self-discipline, which one must also be able to apply.
