1. When you wake up, stay still and really try to remember your dreams, for at least five minutes. If this doesn't work for you, set up an alarm to wake you during your sleep. Do this for a couple days to give your memory a little push in the right direction. By interrupting your sleep spontaneously and directly, you're likely to remember something. Record what you recall and go back to sleep.

2. Not at all. You're a beginner and we all start somewhere. You're making progress everyday.

3. Yes, persistence is very important.

4. Write down anything and everything. A lot of dreams are broken into pieces, or fragments, but they're still important to record because they help with your dream recall.

5. Yes, recording all dreams is helpful for recall, no matter day or night, short or long.
