Thread: What time should i wake?

Hi Shibby!

Welcome on board.

Try for at least 6 hours for your alarm clock. Most dreaming takes place after about 6 hours of sleep.

Thanks. I'll make sure I set it around that time. Another question, Lately I haven't been able to remember my dreams. Will waking up at this time and keeping a dream journal help with this?

Yes, shibby, keeping a dream journal is an excellant method of dream recall. I've been doing it for a while, and I've begun to notice definate signs in each dream, which is a good way to become lucid. Hope it helped!

Thanks to all of you. I'll start seriously about recording my dreams tommorow.

Hiya Shibby!

Another thing that may help is this. When you are lying in bed trying to go to sleep, repeat to yourself "I will wake up after I dream, and I will remember my dream". Planting this suggestion in your mind usually goes a long way toward helping you awaken after you have a dream, and remembering the details. If you do this, you may find that you don't really need the alarm clock.

Thanks guys. I read that home page. I didn't know how effective it was. I'll try it now.
