Write it down. No excuses. Seriously, even if you don't think that you remember enough, write down what you remember. Even if all I remember is a vague impression of a dream, I'll write it down. Oftentimes this prompts me to remember other details about that dream or even remember entire other dreams that I hadn't recalled upon awakening (this morning for instance, I was writing down a fleeting memory of one dream and suddenly remembered two others in quite some detail). Honestly, a couple weeks ago when I started up my dream journal again, I was remembering on average one, maybe two, dreams per night, and now my average is up around 5 (assuming a decent night's sleep). I won't let myself get out of bed until I write at least something down. Maybe try keeping your room chilly at night, so that you don't want to get out of bed and are therefore more inclined to lay there under the warm covers until you remember something. Keep your journal next to your bed, preferably next to a lamp or one of those pens with a tiny light at the tip. Good luck, and remember: no excuses. |
