When I first started, I was disappointed that dreams just slipped away as soon as I woke up!

But then as my brain got more used to it, I've began to wake up about 3:30, 4:30 and 5 each morning. Each time I have dreams that I write down.

Whitby_jet has got it right. Just try and hold onto anything you can, ask yourself what you were doing before that. Lie still and try and memorise a sequence of events BEFORE you write anything down. That works best for me.

Good luck!
