      ANOTHER Help With Recall Thread

      My recall has not been too great, and I want to do whatever I can in order to improve it. However, I cannot set an alarm or anything to wake myself up during the night. I already keep a detailed dream journal, and I take B-complex every other night. I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night (usually 10). What can I do to improve my recall?

      Hey, you stole my sig. Sig thief!

      Anyhow, just continue what you're doing. It's the kind of thing that simply comes with time.

      Yep, just keep working on it, like Tank said.

      Try telling yourself you will remember your dreams. Also, I heard having a set Sleep Pattern helps.

      If you wish to remember earlier REM periods, drink a few glasses of water to get you up earlier. You say alarm clocks are an issue--is this because you are worried about waking someone else up? If that's the case, try using a cellphone alarm (on vibrate).

      I agree with Xyn. A consistent sleep pattern, along with autosuggestion will help greatly. After a while, you may find yourself waking up a few minutes earlier than usual, and remembering more of your last dream (due to both mentioned factors; your body will become used to waking at a set time, and your subconscious will wake you closer to your last dream).

      Also, have you tried not trying? It seems like you are taking a great effort to recall, but perhaps this stress is actually prohibiting recall! Relax a bit, and I'm sure your dreams will return in a few days.

      Turns out that I have had bad dream recall due to migraine with aura... Seeing as that has now passed, I should have better dream recall again...

      That's not a break. That's not remembering. Takign a break is not even trying to remember. Try it for a week or so. It should work.
