Help! Problems with Dream Recall!
Hi everyone, I became interested in lucid dreaming a couple of weeks ago and I have recently started to keep a dream journal to improve my dream recall. For some reason, I am having no luck at remembering. I find this strange as I am waking myself up at the end of REM periods with an alarm at 4:30, 6:00 and 7:30. I go to bed at about 11:30 and usually fall asleep between 11:45 and 12:00. I think the source of my problem may be that I am waking up just after REM sleep and losing my dreams in deep sleep before I am woken up. My reason for thinking this is, for example, say I fall asleep at 11:45, when I wake up at 4:30 it is 15 minutes after the end of my REM period (judging that each sleep cycle lasts 90 minutes). This also goes for my other alarm times.
If anyone can offer any help or advice it would be greatly appreciated!
