Thread: A struggle to dream

Try just laying there when you wake up. Don't move, don't think about the day, only focus on anything that could've happened during the night. It doesn't even have to be complete thoughts, you could just remember something random like "McDonald's" or "a pool". Basically anything that you think you may have dreamt about write down and take note. Just be sure to lay there for 5-10 minutes so you really remember everything you can.

You can also try writing down how you felt that morning if you can't remember any specific details about a dream. This will at least keep you thinking in the morning and hopefully increase you overall dream recall.

This.

And to add on, if I can't remember after lying still for 5 - 10 minutes, I'll start walking around if I desperately wants to remember it. For example if I dreamt of my favourite plushie, walking around and spotting it will make my whole dream gush back. Something like trying to find key items that appeared in your dream which exists in reality too.

I'm a heavy smoker when it come to weed. My girlfriend is just as much as a pothead as I but she dreams and remembers every night. Is there a way around this cuz I dint see me quitin the green anytime soon. ?

Try not to smoke before you go to bed, or at least don't go to bed high. At least if you're sober your brain will be completely regular throughout your entire sleep cycle and you should be able to remember your dreams more easily.
