Can't remember my dreams...

[Explorer]

Hi again! I have another problem, i just can't remember my dreams. Today i remembered just a few seconds of one of my dreams.. I've tried to not open my eyes in a few minutes when i wake up and try to remember my dreams, but it don't work. I've tried to set my alarm clock at the end of the REM, but it didn't work either. And when i'm going to sleep, it takes a looong time before i sleep. Any tips? My memory isn't too good when i'm awake either... Maybe i'm too exited about this whole thing...

You should write down anything you remember when waking up, no matter how insignificant it may seem. When you go to sleep at night, tell yourself that dreams are a real place. That you are going to a Dream world tonight. When you wake up you have to remember what you did when you went there last night. Treat it as a real place. Hopefully this will allow you to have better dream recall.

It helps me if I can wake up without an alarm clock. Have you ever tried a vibrating alarm? A cell phone works for some people.

Before you go to sleep, say to yourself, "I will awake from my dreams and remember them completely." Focus on your intent, do not let your mind waver. Repeat it over and over until you sleep. Then after a few hours (for me, about 4-5 hours), you'll wake up and your mind will be swarming with your memories. Be quick in writing them down, because they fade incredibly fast. But I've done this for a few nights in a row now (just learned about LDs about 4 days ago) and it hasn't failed to work.
