Thread: I can't start a dream journal because I don't remember any of my dreams!!!!

Well OhSnapItsGretch, the mere intention of remembering your dreams should be enough to begin recalling at least fragments. Don't worry, good recall will come!

Getting plenty of sleep is the first step to good dream recall. Also make sure you lay completely still when you just woke up. Just try remembering your dreams. Eventually you will be able to remember some. The first week when I've kept a dream journal, I was able to remember 1 dream that week. But 2 weeks later I could remember 3 dreams each night, I remembered 21 dreams that week. Just keep on trying, you will remember them soon :p.

Good tip, Make Disturbing Sounds after 2-3 hours of our sleep patern. Like Alarm clock. You can mostly remember Unfinished Dreams.

Start a dream journal and write down all the steps you will undertake to achieve lucidity, every now and again read over it might help you sub consciously. It also works to keep you motivated. Just like you I couldn't remember any dreams but just by writing this intro in to my dream journal I started remebering dreams .

Try repeating a mantra as you falling asleep.
1. I remember my dreams.
2. I wake up after each dream and remember it.

You can drink water before bed and each time you wake up. You are very likely to wake up after your REM stage is over, just as everybody else does. And since you wake up right after your dream, you are very likely gonna remember it.

If you don't, write down any fragment, keyword, or just feeling you have from the dream. Also write down: I have good memory and my recall is getting better every day. This will reinforce your belief that you can remember your dreams. Happy dreams
