Remembering Your Dreams: Dream Blogging

Although dreams are often difficult to remember, there are various, scientifically proven techniques that you can use in order to better recall the dreams you have each night. These techniques work to not only stimulate more vivid dreams, but also train you to immediately remember and record your dreams for later interpretation. Here is a list of these different techniques:

• Get plenty of rest. Because we experience dream periods every 90 minutes, the longer you sleep the more you dream and the better able you are to recall them the next day.
• Before you go to bed, make a conscious decision to remember what you dream. By doing so, you are subconsciously working to retain as much information from your dreams as possible.
• Create a dream blog/ diary. By placing a notebook and pen beside your bed, you can write down what you remember from your dreams immediately and avoid forgetting important details. If you awaken in the middle of the night during a dream, quickly write down key points as a reminder the next day. 
• Make your first thought the next morning is about what you just dreamed and try to recall what you experienced. By laying in bed and trying to recall and note the different themes, concepts, and emotions of your dreams before getting up and starting your day, you will be more able to recall the dreams you experienced that night.
