Anyone that would read your private journal isn't worth speaking to. Thus, it isn't likely that people close to you, like your parents, would intrude upon your privacy. |

Ok so I've been meaning to post this for awhile now and I'm having issues remembering my dreams when I go to bed. I know the best way to remember your dreams is to keep a dream journal, but how can you have one if you can't remember your dreams? I really need help with this...any suggestions would be great! |

Try saying aloud affirmations before you go to bed such as "I will remember my dreams." and see if that helps. You'd be surprised. Concentrate on waking up and remembering to try and remember those dreams, and when you wake up for real, give yourself a minute to try and recall them. |

I only remember my dreams if they're worth remembering. I'll wake up and be like, "damn i had a sweet dream last night." |

If you really want to remember your dreams and don't mind sacrificing a little sleep, you could set your alarm a few hours earlier that you normally get up. Chances are you'll remember some. Then take the time to record them and go back to sleep. |
|
If you don't remember any of your dreams, a good thing to do is write down how you feel. Writing anything may help you remember or help you remember later in the day. |
|
If you're reallly heart-up for dream recall, you could set your alarm clock to go off at 90 minute intervals (the length of an average sleep cycle, so right after a dream). However, in many cases this solution is impractical. You could also reaffirm yourself as you fall asleep to remember your dreams. It works. |

If someone discovering it and reading it really is an issue, you could also keep the journal under your pillow at night for easy access in the morning, then slip it under the mattress during the day. |

I really agree with this. because one, you might remember a dream better by waking up earlier and without an agenda (like getting up to get ready after hearing your alarm) and going back to bed again will help you having more dreams. I find when I sleep in i get lots of dreams too. |

The problem with not recalling your dream is that you may have actually had a lucid dream and simply don't remember it! |
