      dream recall inept

      Hi guys i'm new here (just registered <3 minutes ago) and i've been having some problems with dream recall. Now i pretty much have a bad memory to begin with and what has been happening lately is that I go to sleep thinking to my self over and over "I will remember my dreams". So the night passes by and I wake up 7 hours later. The trouble is that i can only remember the last 5 minutes of the dream I was having before I woke! I've been trying to improve my dream recall for about 4 or 5 weeks now and it just seems to be getting progresivelly worse. One of my first entries I could remember almost everything about the dream, down to the colors of people eyes in one case, but my last entry was only a single sentence long with nothing but a vague description of what happened. I am in desperate need of help, does anybody have advice for a LD Nub on enhancing dream recall?

      I have bad memory as well, but the problem is you are sleeping all night and then trying to remember your dreams. With poor memory that is next to impossible. All you have to do is set your alarm on a cellphone or alarm clock in 2 hour increments.

      Set it 2 hours after you think you will fall asleep, wake up, write your dream down immediately, set for 2 hours ahead, fall asleep and repeat. You should have no less than 3 dreams a night in an 8-hour sleep session, maybe more.

      You can also refine this by testing when your REM cycle hits. I usually set my alarm for 2 hours first and sometimes I've had a dream and sometimes I haven't. I then set it for 2 hours once again. Then I set it in 1 hour 30 min increments the rest of the night. Works best for me. Some people take up to 4 hours to enter REM some take 2 or less.
