Hi There :)

I've always been fascinated with dreams and I always find my dreams very enlightening--when I remember them. I need help with my dream recall, I often feel that my subconscious is trying to tell me something. I try to write them down, but as soon as my alarm goes off, they're gone.

Sometimes I can recall a little bit, like a feeling, but not enough to put into any words if that makes any sense. It's almost like it's on the tip of my tongue and then it goes away.

As for lucidity, I have become lucid in my dreams before, more so just realizing that I am dream or telling myself that I have to wake up now. I figured though, that I need to work on the dream recall first.

Any suggestions would be great! :)

Hey! Welcome to DV!
First you should focus on the intention of remembering your dreams, it helps a lot! Then you can try to find something that helps you recall your dreams. For example, drinking tea helps me recall my own dreams. You could find something like that for you.

What really messes up my recall is being jarred awake by an alarm or some other sound and /or if I immediately change position or start thinking about my day once I wake up.

Try telling your subconscioius to wake you up after each dream or to wake you up about 15 minutes before your alarm goes off (I know it sounds stupid but you'd be surprised how accomodating your subconscious can be).

Once you wake up.. do not move! Think about the dream that you just had.. If nothing comes to mind.. try to remember if there was a specific person, place, thing, food or emotion in the dream. Once you come up with even a tidbit of the dream.. try to work your way backward.. how did you get there.. who was with you, etc.
