Issue with remembering dreams?

**mazillion** · 11-11-2010 11:17 PM

Hey everybody. I am new to this and I have been using my dream journal for a little over a week. My dream recall is getting exponentially better because i had zero recall when i started and i have remembered about 14 dreams. Now, granted, only about 10 of those dreams are more than a single detail or a portion of a small scene and only about 6 of those i remember are long and have a story but it is still really good.
What my problem is that i always remember my dreams about 10 minutes after i wake up when i try to remember them. My question is is this normal? Will this get better? Or am i doing something wrong? Normally when i wake up i roll over and stretch and then i realize i am supposed to stay still and try to remember my dream but by then i never have any memory of my dreams. At least not until i try again ten minutes later.
Help? Thanks

This happens to me too, i actualy just stand still in the bed at the weekends, becouse in weekdays if i don't wake up fast, o won't wake at all

Sometimes i have the dream in mind just after getting up, but another it comes during the day, when i see some kind of things that are related to the dream.

Just keep trying to make it the first thing you do in the morning. It is hard to build new habits, especially when it comes to something as instinctual as sleeping.

I think this happened to me too when i first started. But now im remembering them when i wake up. Dont worry, im sure this issue will be gone within a few weeks.
