I practiced lucid dreaming a long time ago, I still have my old dream diary somewhere. But that thing was why I quit. To get better you need to write everything down after waking up. And with better rememberence you also know more details and at some point Inwas sitting 20-30 minutes in my bed writing, and that's not my favorite thing to do after waking up Ingottansay haha. How'd you motivate me to start with it again? Do you mind sharing you favorite forum on that topic?
Yeah writing down my dreams is hard for me too especially when you just woke up in the middle of the night. But i found that it helps if you don't write it down in every last detail. I only jot down a few keywords when I wake up and that usually works, then I can flesh it out it later in the same day when I have time. Takes less effort. If you don't remember - guess, that's a good exercise too! Don't do it tomorrow though, never works :'D Also it can help if you're forced out of the bed somehow for a couple of mins (drank too much water and have to go to the bathroom, for example), then just take your journal/phone with you. It also helps with WBTB (wake back to bed) by the way.
I don't know is links are allowed but here's the forum with fun dream tasks I mentioned: https://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-month-year/
I don't read a lot of forums but this one motivates me because users create this witty unexpected tasks I could never think of myself. And you get to feel accomplished when you finish them XD
thanks alot, seems like it's time to dust of my dream diary then
Glad it helped <3
