How to Remember Your Dreams
I have found that by faithfully following these three steps, I remember more dream material each night.
Don’t be discouraged. It can take a few nights to begin remembering.
Step one:
Put a notebook and pen or a digital recorder beside your bed, close enough to reach without turning on the light or getting out of bed. (A digital recorder costs about $60.00 at WalMart or Future Shop)
Step two:
As you go to sleep, tell yourself to remember your dreams.
Step three:
Every time you wake up, immediately ask yourself: “Was I having a dream right now?” Lie still and let the dream drift to the surface. As it returns, record what you remember.
Even if you have only remembered a tiny image or fragment, write it down. As you write, more details will come to you.
