What is Trance Recall? Trance Recall is going into a trance to remember your dreams. How I came upon this is a long story for another time. For now, take sip of pomegranate juice, and relax.
This is based on the scientifically proven facts that we have four basic brainwave states: Beta, awake, Alpha, meditative, half-asleep, Theta, REM, Delta, Deep Sleep.
My hypothesis is that, contrary to mainstream thought, we not only dream in Theta, but also in Delta. We have two long slow wave sleeps early in the night, then as we progress through sleep, we go through higher frequencies.
In order to remember the Delta sleep dreams, going into Alpha state helps with this because it's closer to Delta than Beta. And, because Alpha is closer to Theta, REM, you can remember those dreams easier also.
Preparation: It is important to be comfortable as you sleep, and as you wake. Make your room very dark, and comfortable in every way.
Trance Recall: as you awake
Do nothing. In other words, keep your eyes closed, and do not move. Remember your dreams. Just let them flow to you. It usually happens with the last dream you had, then the one before that, as if you were reading a book starting with the last chapter moving forward.
Sometimes I get up to use the bathroom, then I lose my dream. One thing that helps prevent this is to set my alarm for about 45 minutes to an hour before I want to wake up. I wake up, use the bathroom, and go back to sleep. When I wake up again, I lie there comfortably.
Trance Recall: after waking
Since you have woken up, you are now in Beta. You must go into Alpha. You can meditate or listen to music that makes you think of dreams. Just relax, and when you think of dreams, just start typing. Do not think. Let the dream flow out of you. Do not judge it. Do not judge yourself or your actions.
If you do not have a lot of time, jot down some notes for about five minutes.
The video below is one I made for Epic Dream Recall. I did this one year ago yesterday.
