Writing in your Dream Journal is the best known method that helps you to remember your dreams better. The following is from Collection....DILD
Recording your dreams
For a DJ, you can use a paper notebook, a voice recording device or a word processor. I prefer paper notebook, just because I can read through my old dreams, highlight some important data, look for dream signs and other things. Voice recorder may be best to record just keywords that will help you remember your dream in the morning. Keep them handy on your night stand.
Dream recall
Write in your dream journal, even if all you can remember is just a single word or feeling. If you don't remember anything at all, write that in your DJ and also write some kind of affirmation to help you remember.
- I remember my dreams
- I like my dreams
- I have good memory and my recall is getting better every day
Writing in your DJ and thinking about your dreams tells your mind, that dreaming and remembering your dreams is important to you and it will help you achieve both. When you remember something, say thanks to your mind for your dream and for remembering it.
Additional help with recall:
1. Drink water before bed and every time you wake up and write your dreams down.
2. Repeat these or similar mantras as you falling asleep:
- I wake up after each dream and remember it.
- I remember my dreams in the morning
Here are some ideas about what to write in your DJ
• Date
• Bed time
• Supplements and time taken to help you figure out the best time for taking them
• Mantras, RCs, awareness you did during day to see if they manifest in your dream and if there is a delay of manifestation - find out which work/don't work
• Stress level of the day - does it affect your recall?
• Time when you woke up from a dream and how long was it - figure out best time for WBTB
• WBTB time and how long, what did you do and ease of falling asleep - do you need to get up sooner/later for shorter/longer
• Dream itself
• How good is your recall
• Type of a dream RD, DILD, WILD, DEILD
• Level of control, vividness, special features, stabilization
• HH - Hallucinations, effects, sensations
And about making your dreams more realistic and focused - have you tried yelling commands like "clarity now", "focus now", or even just saying "look how is everything so detailed" or anything similar? These usually work.
Are you practicing daytime awareness? That should help you with better and longer dreams and for you to feel like you are more "there".
