Now, on to some helpful tips that will help you to remember your dreams. Write tonight's date on a blank page, to imprint on your subconscious mind that you intend to remember your dreams. If you awaken during the night with a dream memory, you can use the flashlight to write by so you don't become completely awake. Even writing a couple key words can help jog your memory in the morning. An alternative is to use a small cassette recorder to record your dreams, kept at the bedside.
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
In the morning before you get out of bed, take the time to think about any dreams that are still in your thoughts before you get busy with the day, and write them in your dream journal. Try repositioning yourself into various sleeping positions, and you may suddenly remember a dream. Don' t forget to log even single dream images, or snippets. This goes for words or phrases that you remember, also. Oftentimes they will be off-kilter in some way, causing you to puzzle over it during the day.
