    Could use some advice

    I remembered a dream today, finally, but then I lost it. =/

    Now I hardly remember anything, something about a penny. I know it was a vivid dream and I wish I could remember so bad...

    I don't know what the deal is, I cannot for the life of me remember any dreams from the past few days. I get at least 5-6 hours a night, which has always been the norm for me. I take notes when I wake up so that I don't forget it, but lately I cannot even do that. I always say to myself each night, remember your dreams, let them be vivid.

    It's really making me sad because I used to always remember them. Now that I can't, I feel like something is missing, it's weird. I enjoy recalling and I used to be soooo good at it.

    It's just as of late, I seem to forget a lot of stuff, it's like my mind just blanks anything I want to remember out, even simple things. My memory has never been this bad. Yes, I smoke pot, but I've been smoking for years. I plan on trying not to at least right before bed anymore.

    Anyway, I have been a little stressed lately, how do I fix this problem??? I get up at 7:30 almost every morning, even when I don't have to work because of my son. I've tried relaxing, it's like there's nothing I can do about the stress in my life. I feel like that's part of the problem, a major part.

    Any suggestions would be awesome, please and thank you.
    Maybe I should've made this a thread.

      If you're feeling stressed out, relaxation and meditation could help you a lot there. You could also reinforce your mantras here, to increase your recall. The key is not to worry - when you worry, you doubt your own ability, and from the sounds of it you have a natural ability to recall your dreams.

      Best of luck

      Exactly what Merlin said. You just need to relax and don't stress yourself about remembering the dream. It's actually been proven that the harder to try and remember something that's at the tip of your brain, the harder time you actually have memorizing it. When you wake up, try relaxing and going about your normal routine.

      If you're anything like me than you could try this method:
      When you wake up, don't try to remember what you dreamt about right away. Simply remember that you had a dream. Many times I don't remember my dreams until later on, sometimes I think I didn't even had one and then it just rushes right back to me. Anyways, remember that you had A dream, and then from their let your memory begin piecing it back together from there.

      Hope it helps!
