How To Remember Your Dreams
Dreams can be a comforting escape from reality and can offer an interesting look into your subconscious. However, most people can’t process what their dreams are trying to tell them because they forget them before they’ve even made breakfast. Luckily, Goodnet has some strategies for remembering dreams.
Have a proper sleep schedule
Having a good sleep schedule is extremely important when it comes to recalling dreams. This is because you are more likely to have deeper sleep and longer periods of dreaming. These dreams are also more likely to be vivid and easier to remember.
Wake up mindfully
How you wake up is also a big factor in remembering your dreams. Instead of immediately starting your day or grabbing your phone in the morning, take time to slowly wake up and try to reflect on the dream you had and recall anything you can. Try not to use a sudden loud alarm clock, if you have to use an alarm try using one that will wake you up more gently or slowly get louder. Waking up in a more gentle way makes it way more likely that you’ll be able to recall dreams and not immediately forget them.
Keep a dream journal
Writing down the dreams that you have is one of the best ways to recall them and keep them stored long term. This journal should be kept next to your bed so that you can write in it immediately after you wake. Creating this habit can help you to cement the memory of your dream in your mind and you might even remember more pieces of the dream as you write about it.
