So I first need to start on memory, I know my short term memory sucks, but then again I can barley remember what happened 8 years ago.

Is there any tips to train my mind to wake up when a dream brings my mind out of the sleep state, I have read somewhere that as we sleep dreams are a process to wake us, the brain uses past experiences to stimulate other parts of the brain as if though I was touching something, it simulates the information that would have been sent by your nervous system.

And thax for the feedback, I really want to have a feeling of "Man that was a good dream" or "Crap, that was a scary dream", currently when I wake it is the next morning.
