Remembering Dreams

Remembering dreams comes easy to some and some insist that they never dream at all.
We all dream, every night around 5 or so times; but the problem with some of us is
that we can't remember our dreams, so much so that we don't even think they happen... but they do, every night.
The trick is to remember them (obviously) and the best way to do this is to write your dreams down as soon as you wake up, now if you can't remember them at all; well there are techniques to help with that as well
  • Close your eyes as soon as you wake up and open them. keep them shut and relaxed and try not to wake up too much.
  • DO NOT MOVE keep your body in the same position as it was in when you woke up, if you have shifted, well, shift back into the same position you were in when you first woke up.
  • Ask your self "What was I just dreaming?", "What was the last thing I remember?", "How do I feel? and why?" these questions might help you to remember your dreams or feelings about what you were just dreaming about
  • Do all of the above for a few minutes or until you remember a dream; or a feeling or something you can scribble down in some kind of words, It doesn't have to be a whole dream it can be a fragment or a thought or assumption, anything just as long as you can write it.
You don't need to remember a dream in it's entirety, even a feeling about a dream will get your brain in the habbit of remembering your dreams, start small if you can't remember anything and work your way up.
Do your best to remember what you can and assuring you don't fall back to sleep, and write it down on a pad of paper or in a notebook or anywhere just aslong as you can go back through it, you will want a Dream Journal/Diary at some point and that's what I will go on to next.
