WILD PROBLEM(s)

[Mate122]

So,I started ld-ing before 1 year and 2 months,and in january when school started again, i stopped lding,because i didn't had any great results(im 14).so lately i started again (ld-ing),my problems are,I can't remember my dreams.i know you are going to say ''keep dream journal'',how can I keep a dream journal,what am I gonna write in it when i can't remember my dreams(and yes i had 5-6ld).My biggest problem is with wild.I wake up 4:45mins after i fall asleep,and i wake out of my bed,and go to bathroom listen to 2 songs,and back to wild,and then i can't fall asleep,but the catch is,if i don't get out of bed i fall asleep fast,which means 0 for WILD.pls help,and 1 more problem, i can't calm when i'm trying to wild,I start to imagine dream sceneres and i get so excited. (sorry for my bad english,hopu you can understand what i wrote)

For dream recall, I would suggest when you wake up just laying there and remember as much detail as you can. I do that and sometimes parts of the dream I forgot come back to me! It's best to do it right when you wake b/c if you get up and just go on about your day then you'll forget the majority of your dream. Another thing you can do is the MILD technique, but the mantra can revolve around you remembering your dreams. For example, you can fall asleep thinking to yourself "I will remember my dreams" or something like that. For WILD maybe you can't fall asleep because your mind is too active after doing all of that stuff. So maybe instead of listening to the 2 songs, cut that down to just going to the bathroom & also keep the lights low/dim so your mind and body are still sort of relaxed. Just my 2 cents
