主题:When Experienced, Do Lds Become Vivid Enough To Be In Par WI have had some LDs before, but most of them felt like "nothing" upon waking up. It just felt like some random blurry dream. Yet I have some non LD dreams that were so vivid, that I sometimes mistaken them for memories!
So question: when you become an experienced LDreamer (to the point where you can just decide if you wanna have a DILD any day), do you have vivid enough dreams that feel really legit even after waking up?
AND
Do you still keep a dream journal?
Lucid dreams have little difference from normal dreams when it comes to memories of them after you wake up. They WILL feel hazy and if you are not well trained in dream recall you may forget them all together. This is a safety mechanism which you'd better keep and not breaking it. Mixing real life memories with dream memories can be disastrous. It CAN happen but the effect usually fades after a few hours.
In terms of memories after waking up, lucid dream is different from normal dreams in one aspect. You do remember your intentions and other abstract thoughts clearly. It's simply because the corresponding brain regions, such as those responsible for reasoning and self-reflection, are activated during lucid dreams.
Thank you for that thing about journals. I didn't really know much of its purpose, so I had stopped doing them when I was practicing DILDs (they were tiring to do). Now I realize its importance. Because I became lazy to write them, it meant that my dreams were no longer IMPORTANT.
I see journalling in a totally different perspective now. I will once again give DILDing a try. I also stopped my attempt because although I had a few LDs here and there, none of them felt "real", when I woke up. So, knowing that they become very legit if I master them is another motivation for me to attempt it again.
Thanks alot :)
