I have been reading a few peoples' dream journals, and, I have to say, I am almost jealous of the amount of detail they provide. Things like what someone was wearing, if there was a stain on it, the colors of objects, etc. My dreams are sometimes teeming with intricate details, but not as much as I would like.

Is anyone aware of ways to help the dreaming mind in gathering more detail from the dream world? Or is this even possible in regular dreams? Please note, I am talking about Non-lucid dreams here.
