1st night- 4 dreams, 2nd- 0 dreams, 3rd- 1/2 dream

Three nights ago I made my first attempt at dream recall... I remembered 4 dreams that I have written down... I went to bed at 2 a.m. that night... 2nd night I went to bed earlier thinking it might help... I repeated the same " I will wake up after every dream and remember" in my head until falling asleep... I woke up a few times but no dreams... And the same happened last night, except about two hours after waking up, somebody mentioned something that made me remember a very small part of 1 dream.... I feel that the more tired I am, the easier I can slip into a dream... Because when I'm really tired I lay down and start thinking... I fall asleep fast and usually, it seems as though I slip right into a dream... But when I go to sleep earlier... Nada....

awww.....a anime-manga boy........

Funnily enough, that's the exact same amount I remembered in my first 3 days.

Ah that's weird...
I usually don't remember my dreams when I am tired !

Well if that's what works for you than that's what you should be doing, unless of course you really don't want to be tired every night.

You also shouldn't be discouraged about bad recall in a short period of time. It's something that builds up gradually ...
