Do you remember your dreams?

I used to write down my dreams as soon as I woke up but now my sleep schedule is way too out of whack for that stuff.

But I did have a dream of the guy I like. Its always nice to have dreams like that. It was like I could talk freely to him in my dream in a way I could never muster the confidence to in real life😖

Omfg. Had like 5 paragraphs typed out then back button. -_-

In short, I remember 2-3 dreams per night. Wake up after 4-6 hours, just long enough to write my dreams down, as it helps me remember the longest dreams in the longest REM stages of late sleep. And, important part, I'm going to try audio recording when i wake up, because i won't have to move a lot or stare at a screen that rips me from the dream world too fast. Perhaps you could try that.

I also use mnemonic to sort of program my brain right before i fall asleep that i want to remember my dreams. Very good tool. Works in the waking world too. "I'm gonna crush this interview/date/goal"

I also place importance on my dreams for lucid dreaming or otherwise, which helps me remember them.

Recording would be a great idea. moving too much always does make me forget my dreams so much faster. Searching for pencils in the dark. then when I am actually up I couldn't read it sometimes. Its like I was taking notes in class while I was falling asleep. nothing can be comprehended!

@Lacrimosa: haha. Totally identify with that. Yeah. Could be a lot better. And you Could keep your eyes closed and try to focus on the dream that way. 😄
