Dream recall

[Artificial Lifeform]

Im new to this site so forgive me for not being able to find my way around here. Im looking for articles/discussions/forums about dream recall, because my dream recall are pretty much shit tbh - 1 per week, tops. I only remember dreams if a dream cycle ends just minutes before I wake up (in the morning). I've never in my entire life (well not since I had my last nightmare 10 years ago) woken up in the middle of a night due to a dream. Anyway, this is bothering me, since I love dreaming so much (I've even done illegal substances to create artificial dreamstates - DXM and Salvia Divinorum does the trick on me) and one dream per week (sometimes less) isn't enough.

Hello and welcome to dream views! Attaining Lucidity > Dream Signs and Recall: http://dreamviews.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=15. That's the dream recall forum. My recall isn't the best either, I only remember my dreams about a third of the time . Good luck with developing your recall!

First, welcome to the forum! webmaster, provided you with the link to the Dream Recall forum so I'll just provide some of my personal insight. 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. Also if you haven't started yet, start to write down your dreams. No one says that you have to write a "book" about the dreams you had in your journal. For me, if I'm too tired (or lazy), simply writing down the main topic/subject, and a word or two or a feeling is enough for me to recall a dream. Some people just write snippets of their dreams.. others write paragraphs, some put images, or feelings, others draw pictures.. whatever helps to bring a dream back to you when you read over it the next morning is appropriate. Please just know that there is no right way (or one way) to remember or journal about your dreams. .
