Dream recall question

[rmjr]

Is it normal when first starting trying to remember your dreams to wake up in the morning only remembering 1 dream but over the course of an hour remember more and more, and will you start remembering more right away with practice. :?:

The same thing happens to me. Usually I remember more of my dreams when I'm writing in my dream journal after I wake up. I also have trouble concentrating on remebering my dreams the minute I wake up, so I usually change my position in bed before I realize I shouldn't move away from my waking position.

Hey rmjr, I often remember the last dream I had clearest when I just woke up, I can still see fragments of it if I close my eyes. The dreams I had earlier in the night, I might just remember the weirdest parts of. Later on in the day, or even maybe just an hour after having woken up and gotten out of bed, I might do something that reminds me at once of something that I think I did, but then I remember that I never actually did it, I just dreamt about it. In that way I often remember fragments of dreams as well, allthough thats usually not much. I should write down small parts of my dreams as soon as I wake up from them... Would be good for my dream recalling

Hiya, it's perfectly normal to have what you describe. It's the perfect way to start. Just keep writing in your dream journal, and soon you will be recalling two or three dreams with ease.
