I had a dream last night about a terminally ill patient who was given the job of piloting a space craft into the galaxy all alone. It would be a suicide mission for anyone else but didn't matter to him because he was going to die anyway. I actually woke up sad after experiencing this because it was very vivid but thought it was cool at the same time because I hardly ever remember dreams.
This got me curious so I Googled "tips for remembering your dreams" and this is what I found.
1) Before going to bed, keep a clear mind. Having too many thoughts on your mind can distract you from remembering your dream in the morning. Tell yourself that "I will remember my dream when I wake up!
2) Have a regular bedtime and wake up time. Make this your routine.
3) Avoid alcohol consumption, taking medication before going to bed or eating fatty foods too close to bedtime.
4) Keep a pencil/notebook or voice recorder next to your bed so that it will be within reach as soon as you wake up. Then write down as many details of your dream as you can.
5) Do not get out of bed immediately. Upon waking from a dream, lay still in your bed, keeping your eyes closed and moving as little as possible. Wake up slowly and stay relaxed. Hold on to the feelings you have and let your mind wander to the images of what you have just dreamt.
6) Sometimes it may help to draw pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.
7) Learn to share your dreams and talk about them with others. The more often you acknowledge your dreams and bring them into "reality", the easier it will be to remember them.
8) Don't get discouraged! At first, you may only remember a fragment of the dream. With practice and the more you work with your dream, the more easier it will be to recall you dreams.
Now go out there and dream people!!!
