I kept saying Abracadabra LOL. Anyway.
Well what I find best (Keep in mind this is just me personally) for dream recall and dream journaling is this:
- As soon as you wake you, lay still and think about the dream you were just in. Remember as much of it as possible and keep it in your mind.
- Once you think you have the dream remembered, sit up, and get a notepad that should be next to your bed.
- Write down key bullet points and any important information to help you remember the dream.
- Now usually, I have to go to school, so I can't write it up straight away. But then I keep going over the dream in my mind while I get ready.
- I come back to it after school, and get the notepad out again, and go over everything.
- I then open my dream journal on my computer (I use microsoft word), and write it out in there, because I find typing helps it go in more.
- Also when I'm writing my dream, I make sure I do it in a lot of detail. So instead of saying you went into a room, so what the room looked like. How the furniture was set out. The colours. I do this with everything I feel in a dream. That way, my dream journal is written in a lot of detail, so even if your dream isn't, it sets your mind up for the next one to recognize that detail. So after a couple of days, you should notice the vividness increase dramatically.
- Once I have done this, I highlight anything in the dream that is extremely bizarre. Not just minor things, but something that you should notice straight away as being weird. Like someone having car as a head.
- I then write these as a list below my journal entry, so that they can be used as dream signs. That way, I can look back and see if I have any reoccurring ones.
So that's the detailed version of what I do, and it definitely works for me.
