Thread: What the?? This week no recall except knew that i had interesting dreams

In case you don't know.. i've been at dream recall since October last y ear. I've had a lot of recalls.. but also many times no recall at all.

Good news. Yesterday i had one dream recall. really short but at least i had it.

WHy is it sometimes i have no dream recall even though i set alarms in REM periods

Have you been getting enough sleep for relatively long intense REM periods?

You have probably read about this technique before, if you've been at it since October, but just in case, I'll explain it. Sometimes, I wake up dissappointed, thinking I haven't remembered any dreams. But by using this technique, I'll often end up remembering multiple detailed dreams within a few minutes.

While trying to remember, you sometimes don't remember any specific dreams or even images or scenes, but you remember a vague feeling. Or you know it involved a certain person, or you know you were outdoors, or running away from something, or you were in some public place, or you were talking to someone, etc. Go over your common dream signs in your mind, to see if any memories come. Grab on to anything like this that you can, then concentrate on it, trying to figure out what could have caused the vague feeling or whatever it is. Even remembering and concentrating on a feeling you think you might have had, or a place you think you might have been in the dream, might make you more aware of dreams and be more likely to remember them better the next night.

well i sleep good i think.

Yes lately i've only felt this feeling like i had an exciting dream. sometimes even vaguely that i met girls in my dream and that something fun happened. The other day i stayed in bed after waking up trying and trying to recall anything but i had nothing.

Thanks for the info i'll try that next time. dreaming is awesome. i wish i can have better memory
