Hi! I'm new here, and it seemed a good place to go for some questions I have.

Anyway, I once heard that the only way a person remembers their dreams is when they are woken up during the middle of it. Then I was researching some methods for dream recall, and I read that you have to repeatly wake up in the middle of the night, during REM sleep. I'd rather not wake up 5 or 6 times at nighttime. Do I have to learn dream recall this way? Or is there another way that enables me to get a full 8 hours sleep per night?
