Thread: remembering dreams

Yep, dream journals are very important. Also repeating "I will remember my dreams" or something similar before going to bed seems to help a lot.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks you guys--I put a notebook next to my bed and tried to focus really hard on remembering my dreams. It hasn't worked yet, but I know it's too early to get frustrated after just a few nights. I never remember waking up in the middle of the night, if this even happens to me. So the only time I can try to focus on what I was dreaming about is when I hear the unwelcome blare of my alarm clock way too early in the morning. Maybe the fact that I usually don't get enough sleep is an obstacle to my ability to remember my dreams? Is this possible? I drank a lot of water last night before bed in the hopes that I would wake up, but never had to go. Guess I was dehydrated.

hm.. i as always read differently..

because you are in high school with big books and many problems in life.. you probably spend more time learning and living in this world, rather than a little girl who lived in dreams more than you now... - thats why your dreams are not so funny and interesting anymore..

and i think its natural that you have so many things to do in your life.. that you enjoy your life less than you were a little girl - thats why you remember parts of your dreams..

I hope you understood my hints.. if not.. its okay - this forum is full of people who will tell you more

Roguext22, I thought I understood you until you said you were hinting at something. YOU GOT ME! Be more explicit...

Drinking water was a good idea; try that again--that usually helps me a lot.

After you wake up just lay there. The part of the brain that was creating your dreams hasn't quite turned off yet. If you lay still it will start to kick on again and the first thing that will happen is the memory of your last dream will come back.

Hi there. Looks like you got loads of great advice so I just popped in to say Welcome to the site.

Best of luck with your recall.
