Can’t Remember Your Dreams?

Try these suggestions...

1. Keep your recording equipment (notebook or tape recorder) within reach of your bed.
2. Record the date before you go to sleep.
3. Repeat to yourself, or write in the journal, just before you go to sleep, your intention to remember a dream.
4. Try to ask questions while you are dreaming. For example, “Why are you chasing me?” is appropriate for a threatening figure. “What does this mean?” is appropriate for a puzzling situation.
5. Reenter the dream while you are awake. If you can't remember to ask questions during a dream, then try to reconstruct the dream in your mind's eye and ask yourself the same questions when you are awake.
6. Record every thought, phrase, word, image, or emotion you can recall, either in the middle of the night or first thing on awakening.
7. Look over dream notes written at night as soon as you awaken.
