Thread: Hello all:)

Riven, I'm glad you decided to join us!

Moonbeam gave you some sound advice!

You might 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.

I keep a small memo pad open with a pen clipped to the spiral next to my pillow. When I wake up from dream, I don't turn on the lights, nor open my eyes.. I just reach for the pad and start writing.

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.

Welcome to Dream Views!

Thanks alot for the replies And yeh i already had a little writing pad near me, but i guess my problem was the second i woke up i bashed on my light and in excitement tried to rember my dream.. which kinda likely came up blank.. xD So i am going to try the method of keeping still and writing it down

So thanks again for the warm welcome and tips
