I remember my dreams by accessing my subconscious

[mulletsindreams]

Hello, Newbie here with a question or two. I usually get around 7 or so hours of sleep a night and usually awaken before my alarm goes off in the morning, which I'm assuming is a positive feat, no? Anyway, upon waking up I usually have no recollection of the dream I just had, but as I lie in bed, I remain still (no eye/body movement) and attentive to my subconscious and ask it to give me a recollection of what I just dreamed. It always works and I end up remembering scenes from my dreams, but that's usually the extent of it, just scenes from the dreams. Is there anything I could do to get myself to remember whole dreams instead of just fragments from them? Also, as a newbie I feel it is my duty to give some background on my username; I've had a countless many dreams where everyone except for myself in them had mullets, very strange, but equally hilarious, this assists in going lucid every time too.

Hello, welcome to Dream Views! You should consider the fragements of the dreams to be like puzzle pieces, or building blocks if you like. They'll always have something connected to them. So ask yourself, "What was I doing before X? What did I do next? Why did I do X?" with a little effort you should be able to trace back what happened in the dream.

Another thing to do is write a dream journal: Every morning write down what you remember from your dreams, even if it's just fragments or things that sounds like they are not worth writing. If you remember images from the dream, it's also good to draw sketches of the images. Many people found that writing a dream journal improves their dream recall dramatically. Oh, and welcome to DreamViews!
