i noticed i didnt remember any dreams the other day but i knew i had some.
today i woke up an hour or 2 after i began to sleep (try an alarm) and then went back to bed normally and was awake during my dreams after that. wrote down a few dreams so it seems to work. not sure why i cant recall a damn thing anymore lately. maybe this method gets us out of a too deep sleep so we can recall better. who knows but it sure did work for me. give it a shot.
