I was just thinking that my friends who read on a regular basis tend to remember more dreams. I have also noticed when I used to play video games, I had very vivid dreams, and then there are life stresses, etc.

I thought I would ask of those that recall their dreams on a regular basis (2-3 times a week or more), what are your semi-regular patterns that may correlate to this memory? Eg. reading, watching certain movies, video games, camping, being away from home...

And of those that don't recall your dreams on a regular basis: When you have remembered your dreams, what events do you think correlated to your recall?

This excludes those that will themselves to dream, just before they fall asleep. I am more curious as to what natural events correlate to the jolt in dream recall.

Thanks to anyone who wishes to share!
