Thread: Dream Recall

Hey there Liger88

Firstly I would like to Welcome you to Dream Views

Secondly, don't worry about remembering dreams ALL the time. Even masters at dream recall have dry spells once in a while.

Thirdly, just try to write everything you can remember in your DJ and sometimes try to read it whenever you can, that's what I do and it works perfectly

when you wake up, immediately record your dream(s), dont get up and brush your teeth or take a shower, the first thing you should do is record your dream(s), and if you dont remember them, think for a minute or two. you will probably recall a dream event that occured, or a thought you are feeling. so record that. as you continue doing this, your recall will grow.

Here's something I threw together about journaling if you're interested in reading one way of recording your dreams: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=114723 If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. We're always here to help

I've also found that if I remember a few dream fragments all at once, I can scrawl down short notes about each fragment and then later fill in the details, as well as adding another dream or two.

And then, one night I had a dream and woke up right after the dream. It was exactly as I read in one of the dream books. You can train yourself to wake up long enough to record the dream. Unfortunately, I didn't have a dream journal with me, so by morning, I lost it!

Jess has the ultimate answer there, you have to write them down ASAP, as soon as you wake up, make sure you get into the habit of remembering our dreams. FIRST THOUGHT is to remember your dreams, make it second nature. then write them down in your journal.

If theyre too long to write down, write keywords down. for example if you dreamed that jesus peed on your car then ran off and burned your house down, you would write 'jesus pee car burn house' when you go back and look at these notes, you will remember ALL of the dream. the words serve to jog your memory, since dreams are really there remembered but since you made the memories in another conscious state, theyre harder to retreive and need a kickstart, so it is easier to remember them upon directly leaving that state of consciousness (sleep) when you are closest to it.

Thanks for all the tips. About a week ago I got into a sledding accident and got a moderate concussion. I had some problems remembering things. I was thinking maybe this could have something to do with my sudden lack of recall ability?

That might be. If that's the case then it should be okay in a short time. Just force yourself to write in a DJ every day.

(I'm also thinking of a new research project you can check out about Dream Partners if you're interested)
