Dream Recollection

anyone have any good recollection tecniuques?

whenever i wake up i try and lay in bed the same position and eyes closed trying to rememebr my dreams... but i always end up falling back asleep.. :|

Any ideas?

Hi there, I've been trying to incorporate something which I like into my dreams. Cause it is a higher chance U will remember it. It can be an object or people. Once I remember it, it connects to other events in the dream and it helps me to remember most of the dream. To get it into the dream, I have to constantly think of it, the things which interests me. Hope this helps.

I've always had great recall, one a night or so. Once I looked into enabling one to lucidly dream I started typing my experience immediatly on my computer.

1. Wake up, Lay in bed, eyes closed 10 seconds to recall every aspect of the dream.

2. I egress my dishevled bed, to begin typing immediaty.

3. Go back to bed.

Originally I would wake up on my biological clock at 0900, and proceed typing. However as I got proficient and recalling vivid dreams I began to wake up immediatly after the dream ended. Once I no longer had to recount three lucid dreams at once, as with when I awoke at 0900, I was able to just jump out of bed instead of laying 10 seconds.

I do not type a summary, I go into details.

I recently stopped doing this as often as i'd like due to odd schedules, traveling, etc. And noticably saw my dream recall fall back to two dreams a night. Three dreams are regular, and 4 not uncommon- though short.
