Thread: help me find my rem

i agree. I had a dream, woke up, kept still and fell asleep again, and when i woke up, i couldn't remember anything to write down.
+ What happened to you isn't unique. I regularly stay in bed until 2 pm on the weekends, and my godfather once went to bed on a Saturday, and woke up on a Monday!

You can't trust yourself in the middle of the night. Of course you are going to want to just go back to sleep. We are all lazy and tired when we first wake up.

You have to rely on your prospective memory. Your future memory, or ability to "remember to remember" to do something. Tell yourself before you go to bed that you will remember all your dreams and write them down. Be firm, mean it, and picture yourself doing it. This should help you get in the habit.

Once you are in the habit of remembering you dreams, it will come easier. It is so fun, you will become addicted and really be mad at yourself if you let a good one slip.
