Hello and welcome to Dream Views. |

I just started with Steven LeBarge's "Exploring" and last night was my first attempt at dream recall. His book says you should be able to recall 12 dreams before moving onto the exercises. Last night I kept a journal at my bed and wrote down the dreams as soon as I woke up, which was pretty much 4 or 5 times during the night. I was able to recall 7 dreams. |

Hello and welcome to Dream Views. |

Thanks for the reply. So is the point that I should be able to recall the dreams the next day or several hours later, and not that I'm supposed to immediately write everything down? Or is the point just to get me to think about the dreams after I have them and be able to recall them then, when I would normally not remember them at all? |

logan1, the point is to get you to be able to recall your dreams whether it is immediately upon awakening (when you will probably recall the most details) or later on when you wake up for the last time to begin your day. |

The key is to get to the point where you're dream recall is consistently strong. If your recall has always been good then perhaps you won't need as much time on it. However, you might be like how I was - I almost never remembered my dreams until the first night I decided to keep a journal. The next morning I remembered four. That didn't mean I had consistent recall, but it does go to show how effective telling yourself to remember things can be. |

I meant write dream summaries throughout the night instead of writing out entire dreams each time you wake up. That way you get back to sleep faster. |
