Thread: If you can't remember your dreams, TRY THIS!

Thank you so much for posting this. I think I'm going to try it right after I'm done with the Internet. I hope ti works.

I am glad that this still motivates people and I hope that it will still help as well

OMG! This Technique is soo amazing!
I always had huge problems remembering ANY dreams, so I tried this method and I woke up after 3 dreams and I was able to remember and log them
So happy right now thanks to you!!!

I am glad that it helped you Sapple This method is just training wheels, when you get to the point of not remembering your dreams because you recalled them, but you remember them because you experienced them and therefore is already in your memory, then you can just go to sleep and know that you will remember your dreams.

But if you ever feel like you need a boost in recall try this again and see if it helps you get back on track

Sweet dreams!

Holy! Oh my god! Thank you! I did this for 2 days skeptically, and although the first day I didn't remember my dreams, the second day, which is today, I remembered 2 dreams, and in full detail! I think I would have remembered even more had I been able to fall back asleep, (I slept through 2 of my WBTB alarms, but when the 3rd woke me, I remembered those 2 dreams. I was so excited that I couldn't fall back asleep.) Although I was not able to get lucid, the memories just kept flowing into my head! Thank you so much!

After a week of recall dry spell I used this last night again and recalled what there was to recall, It worked fine as usual and I recalled three short dreams, I usually dont have any problem with recall but when when I do I fall back on this. Now I gotta get the lucid's working right again, They have been coming on with a blank screen to stare at until I give up.

I am so glad that this still helps people! Drem recall is one piece of the puzzle of mastering lucid dreaming.

With practise you will also start to become more aware of your dreams which in turn increases your chances to become aware that it is a dream. But since you're more aware and the dream becomes more vivid, you will also remember it more easily. So by practising your dream recall you are basically entering a positive circle.

Practising dream recall -> Good recall -> Awareness of the dream -> Vivid dreams -> (Lucidity) -> Good Recall

So keep that in mind as you practise other methods at the same time

Thank you! I tried this out and it worked very well! I didn't write anything down though...I just took a bit of time to think and visualize everything I did that day...thinking might work better than writing for some people. I've done a similar method before where I try to pay attention to everything I do more intently. I think it works because many of your dreams incorporate things from your day...thought or ideas. When you are able to connect your dream with reality you are able to recall it better when you wake up. I'll try writing it out today! And I will like this post when I am able to

Awesome Emaleign!

Another thing to note. Dreams are an experience of ourselves so in other words to be aware of the (subconscious, memories and emotions) and this is practise of being aware of our memories. Both daily and nightly memories. And thanks I will like your post when I can as well. xD

def giving this a try ! =-)

Just did that and hope to recall my dreams better tonight.

Good luck guys and remember the importance of seeing this as a method of learning or tool and not a technique that is tried and true.

That way you can put the confidence in yourself. But this will however work as an aid for your recall, because you are practising the same kind of memory that you are using when you recall your dreams.

But for your sake I hope you have instant result.

This sounds very promising!

I had an improving recall of 3-5 dreams per night, but suddenly it was gone. Now it's getting better but I'll try your method the next days when I find time for it.
I'm very confident that it will help.

I'll come back to let you know my results.

Thanks

Thank you so much! This idea is fabulous for me. When i was a kid i used to muse about my day before bed, and my memory is so lacking that I can barely remember now that I've stopped. This will most definitely help my recall.

My idea is fabulous!

Hehe Sweet dreams! I hope it helps you

Thanks

I use this every time I my recall goes to pot.

This is amazing, I managed to recall one whole dream, and I usually don't remember anything when I wake up. It helps with stress control, too

It's starting to be the only thing I write in this thread, but I don't care! -> I am so glad and amazed that this continues to motivate and help people since 2010!

And congratulations to your recalled dream Gojiralis!

Stress is a big factor to why it is difficult, atleast for me, to remember my dreams. Because when I am stressed my dreams get stressed and chaotic and random which in turn makes them harder to remember. But when I am calm and peaceful, my dreams gets calm and peaceful and eassier to be aware of and remember.

Sweet (recalled) dreams everyone!

MasterMind, thank you for sharing this wonderful technique.
This really does work!
Just woke up and wrote down the most vivid dream i have remembered, took up three pages in my dream journal!

Thanks again MasterMind

i will try this tommorow thanks for the info also it was a little run on but ill try

My try


I woke up after having a pretty bad sleep, it was kind of annoying as I am working on recall. Any way, woke up, had a shower and then cooked scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, I then got into my uniform and went to school, it was a pretty boring day and I did not find it to interesting, we did some first aid, humanities, and some other stuff, We also did fitness which was alright to get some exercise every now and then. I caught the bus home and also noticed that I had a rip in my new shoes, which is a bit strange as I don't know how it happened. Once I got home I got undressed from my school clothes and then got onto dreamviews and did some other stuff, began writing out this..

Well, I give it a shot again (even though I now got my recalls going). This is just a normal day that use to repeat almost daily, atleast the previous weeks.


Woke up in the morning, around 9-10am. First thing I do is to get me dressed, then I go to bathroom/toilet.
After that I go turn on my laptop, while waiting I go get me breakfast/lunch, which use to be 500g quark cheese with funlight.
Sitting behind my computer for a 20-60 minutes. Then I pack my gym bag, take 200mg coffeine pill, and start walk off to gym with angry music on my iPod (I find anger as great motivation, I hate lots of people and companies here around and taking out anger on gym to max my lifts). Walking to gym takes about 50 minutes.
Once at gym, I do 40-60 minute strength workout and then I do 15-30 minutes cardio on bike.
When done I having a shower, and then I walk back home that takes me about 50 minutes. But like today and sometimes, I pass by a store on the way home to buy food etc.
Then I sit behind my computer once again, where I am reading news, active in some forums, watching videos, doing graphic design, etc. When afternoon I make dinner and eating behind the computer.
Night comes, usually it passes 00:00, like today again, and then I go bed between 00:00 and 02:30 usually.

Weekends is differents though, as I use to be at my gf's place. Tomorrow I go there, and will go cinema, so it will be different day. But else, it's like same all day almost.

Good luck to you all!

Here is a little motivation trick that I use while recalling my day.

The more I practise my memory and the more I recall of the day, the more I will remember of my dreams.
And also what I choose to remember is what I will remember from my dreams as well, if I want to remember conversations, all I have to do is to focus on recalling and remembering conversation from the day.

Sweet dreams!
