Is there a way to decrease dream recall?


Question Posted Saturday June 13 2015, 8:58 pm

When I try to find out any information on this subject, the only stuff that comes up is about increasing your recall ability. I am hoping there might be a way to do the opposite.

Additional info, added Sunday June 14 2015, 9:16 pm:
Yes, the idea of what I am looking for is basically shutting down my ability to remember having a dream. I'm fine with dreaming I just don"t care to remember them at all. This is because statistically the vast majority of dreams are negative and if not the case for me, at the very least, I find most of then unnerving. .

What I am going to tell you may also turn off your ability to witmess the dream so if thats not what you want, write me back. But heres how:

Step 1 Take 4 or 6 of your own breathes, consciously trying to control your own breathing rather than your body automatically doing so.
(This is to get your subconscious's attention.

Step 2. Try to witness yourself witnessing cognition. (This is to disturb the subconscious.

Step 3. As you do step 1 and 2, give yourself the command to stop remembering your dreams. Do all this right before you go to bed.

The danger is, you may stop dreaming at all. Its not about how you process the dreaming or lack of it or lack of memory but how you process your attention ability, such as lucid dreaming. This is a gift many have tried to hone over history and were unable to do. This may hint at more of a gift and ability in you that you may not want to risk losing if successful in turning it off. There is no guarantee you can then later turn it back on. (I had to consult a friend on this with knowledge of the subject so I don't personally know but do know you do have to deal with the subconscious which is what is in control while you are asleep.)
