How do I wake up after every dream each night?

**JohnnyBoi** · 12-12-2011 01:25 PM

Waking up after every dream was one of the things that made me successful at being a natural lucid dreamer. I know I still do wake up after each dream, but I don't remember doing it at all nor am I really aware.

So I was just wondering if I can somehow remember my wakings after each dream.

Have you tried using a mantra? "I remember waking when my dreams end " or something similar? Repeating this every night before bed could help you out. It did for me, unfortunately i lost it. But I plan on getting it back.

When you say the Mantra, think about what the words mean to you, waking up so you can write in your Dj, therefore you recall more... Which leads to your ultimate goal of getting lucid more often.

Its quite an effective way of doing things. I wish you the best of luck!

Mantra could help you. Another good thing is to drink water before sleeping, as then your body will give you a reason to wake up after the REM cycle so that you can go to the washroom. Once you make it a habit, it becomes second nature and can happen without you using a mantra/drinking water etc.

I'd be happy if I didn't. I don't always recall something when I do, but waking up several times during the night kinda disturbes your sleep. Mantras are your best shot along with drinking water. Or timing your cycles and setting an alarm.
