      Dream Recall

      I have no trouble lying down and closing my eyes and dreaming about something. Just it seems when I wake up that my recall of the dream is poor. I have started a journal of my dreams, and was wondering if the recall will get any better and if there are other techniques to help me remember my dreams with more description?

      Hey there.

      Actually there is a whole section of this forum dedicated to dream recall.

      http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

      There are lots of ways to increase your dream recall, try searching through that forum. Basically the best thing to do is to start a dream journal (like you have) and write down everything you can remember about your dreams. If you are still having trouble remembering your dreams the next morning...try to write them down if you wake up in the middle of the night (I know it sounds annoying but it's worth it)

      Also, it's a good idea to set your alarm for 5 hours after you go to sleep so that you will wake up during prime REM period and you will be more likely to recall your dreams alot better since we typically forget them by morning.

      I also find it helpful to sit absolutely still for a few seconds/minutes after I wake up from a dream and go back through it in my head and try to remember everything that happened. This helps to get the dream into your memory. Sometimes I've woken up from a dream and was so excited to write it down I immediately got up and reached for my dream journal and in doing so FORGOT the dream or at least some important parts of it.

      Good luck and if you have anymore questions feel free to PM me anytime.
