      false awakening, false dream journaling.

      i know that when we wake up in the night we should journal our dreams, but how do you stop yourself going back to sleep and dreaming of dream journaling?

      i woke up at 5 ish after a dream and thought im going to record that dream on my tape recorder which was right next to me. but i only dreamet doing it (it did seem rather vivid though) and then had another dream, woke up after that dream, and LUCKILY remembered all 3 dreams and recorded them all (for real, i hope, i should check my tape recorder).

      the point is i was VERY lucky to remember 3 dreams in a row, how do you chaps/chapesses stop yourself from falling back to sleep when you wake up in the night after dream. eg pinch your self, think WHOAAAAAAAA im awake.

      Hmmmm, well just last night I started recording my dreams by recording them on my MP3 player after I awoke from each. Actually, I let the second slip away as I was too tired to reach for the recorder. But, I don't know...Before I went to sleep, I just repeated over and over, "I will know I'm dreaming while I'm dreaming, and I will remember my dreams". Then I had my cell phone alarm set to wake me at 4:45am, but I automatically awoke after my 2:30am dream, 4:00am dream and 7:30am dream. (It was the 4am dream that got away.) Maybe the mantra helped? Try repeating to yourself that you will awake and remember your dreams. Your mind will do the rest. Hopefully!

      Oh, and despite the fact that I repeated that I would know I'm dreaming while I'm dreaming...I didn't ever figure that out until I awoke!

      Ugh... dream journaling in dreams... that is quite the nuisance.

      Well, I can't quite tell you how to prevent it, but if that's a common event for you, you can turn it into a trick to induce an LD. Do reality checks when you work with your dream journal.

      This happens to me all the time too. I'll be lying there trying to recall my dream, and when I finally get up to record it, it's just an FA. Typically I'll wake up from the FA and just record the dream and FA at that time.

      I'd really like to use this as a way to become lucid, but I never can remember to do an RC before recording my dreams (or in the FA I'm just all of a sudden recording my dream and there was no chance to do an RC before hand anyway).

      The higher the clarify - the more vivid your dreams, the easier they're to remember.

      Oddly, most of the time I lack motivation for noting my dreams - I feel compelled from logging my dreams for whatever reason.
