Thread: Dream Recall Related

Yes. Every little bit counts.

Yes, write down rabbit. The dream journal accomplishes two things. First, by implementing this habitual
action of writing down dreams in your journal, you get into the habit of paying greater attention to your
dreams. Second, it will ultimately give you data to help charaterize your dream signs.

You have a larger challenge though. You're really not remebering dreams. Here are my suggestions:

1) On the main dreamviews page, read the link related to sleep cycles.
2) You need to sleep 8 hours or so to maximize time in REM. The longer you sleep, the longer your REM
cycles are.
3) You need to wake out of your REM period to remember the dream. One way to do this is to set an alarm
clock to intersect with what is hopefully a REM period (see (1) above)
4) The other way to insure not sleeping continuously and remembering the dream, is to drink lots of
water before bed, and then lots more every time you get up to pee. This will force you to wake up
periodicially
5) When you wake, don't even move. Just reflect on the dream snippet and see if other impressions come
to you. Within a minute or so, other aspects of the dream may be recontructed.

Hope this helps
