Dream recall method

**Qwer** · 10-17-2011 11:30 AM

I saw this in my psychology text book.

You have to allready have a dream journal.

You fill a glass of water, and drink half of it just before bed.
While your drinking it you think about how your going to recall your dreams, and visualize it.

Then in the morning you drink the other half.

Wait. I'm sure if I understand what you are saying. How does the glass of water help with recall? Care to give further explanation?

Hi there my friend

. It would be really good if this method is really true. But first of all, can you cite the book where you got this info? Not that I'm saying that you're um.. er.. how can I say this.. a story teller? Just joking around, but seriously though, pls cite the source. Sorry for being kinda offensive and stuff. Peace

Keeping hydrated improves concentration. I'm not entirely sure if his source is correct, but it would be logical, as recalling dreams requires concentrating on them first.

I suppose with that method you're also supposed to think about your dreams while you're drinking the other half of the glass in the morning, sort of like wrapping a tag around the night
<dream_recall>
drink one half of the water and start focussing on recalling your dreams;
sleep and dream;
drink the other half of the water and recall your dreams from the night;
</dream_recall>

Yeah, I think qwer means some sort of MILD action for dream recall

You drink this glass of water, thinking on dreams
Internalization that you will remember your dreams when you drink from it again
You wake up, rush to drink water reassuring that you're mind is ready to complete the task of recalling the dream

Is this it? People tend to use something in the lines "When I wake up" which in my opinion works better since for the water you'll end up moving (asap I guess) and that can make lot of dream content to vanish.

I just read it in my psychology text book.
It said to keep a dream journal and if you still can't remember your dreams to try that.

I think it's called psyched out Year 10 psychology
But il check today.

It appears to be an association thing. If you train yourself to think about dreams when drinking your bedside water, it could unlock previously hidden fragments since your mind associates water with dreams and recall.
