Thread: Do you dream every night?

Hey I'm new to forum and the whole concept of lucid dreaming. All week I have been reading more about dreaming, writing down my dreams and trying to do reality checks randomly throughtout the day. Anyway everyday this week I have had a dream then woken up for school and then wrote it down. When Friday night comes along I think, hopefully tonight I will have a lucid dream or at least a dream but I woke up at about 9 and had was sure I didnt dream all night. So my question is do actually have at least one dream every night?

Yes, every night. Odds are you just forgot.

Yes, everyone has multiple dreams per night. Keep writing them down and concentrate on remembering them and you will..

I also have diffiuclty remembering dreams and i get pi..ed off easily when i wake up completely empty.

Wee tip: Just lie still for a few minutes right after you wake up and try to remember your dreams. Helps solidify them in your waking memory.

Well last night (saturday the 1/08/2010) I woke up and was anoyed again because I couldnt remember my dream. So i just layed in bed throwing words into my head trying to remember and then it all became clear, I remembered my dream and another one I had, had before it that night. I wrote them both down and then went back to sleep and had two more dreams and wrote them both down. 4 dreams in one night that I could remeber, I was pretty darn happy.

4 dreams, wow thats an achievement by itself. A lot of the time if you wake up without any dreams yiou will come across something during the day that will remind you of a fragment of that dream. Sometimes the whole dream can come flooding back to you! The trick is to always keep dreaming in the back of your mind, this will help in all areas, especiially DILDs. goody luck!

A few days ago I went to Oregon to do a lot of camping and hiking, but I didn't bring my dream journal on that trip. But I still remembered my dreams the few weeks I was there. I just said to myself a lot "I will remember my dreams" every day and it worked. I might not have remembered as much dreams as I did when I was writing them down (1 or 2 dreams a night) but after I got back to writing them down I can remember 3-4 of my dreams every night and I'm feel accomlished. Even if I haven't had a lucid dream yet.

Often times I will wake up extremely angry because I'm completely empty, only to end up spewing an epic and detailed saga of a dream in my dream journal. When you wake in the morning, your mind is generally groggy and clarity can be difficult, but dreams will fade quickly from memory if you don't focus! Another tip: I don't know about others, but my dreams are generally linked. I have certain images or thoughts carry over from dream to dream, so remembering one dream can lead to remembering multiple dreams.

That happens to me a lot. In fact today it happened. I wrote down a big long dream and at the end I suddenly remembered a little snippet from an earlier dream in the night. I can never remember very much at all though, from the earlier dream.

I probably remember dreams on waking up ~60% of the time. I'm much more likely to recall successfully if I go to bed before 12AM, though.

People dream almost every night. When someone says "I didn't dream at all last night," they really just didn't remember what they dreamt about. If you can't remember a dream when you wake up, try staying in bed with your eyes closed and just keeping still. Think of key words that may have been in your dreams, and see if it resonates with something. Or, drink apple juice or take vitamin B6 supplements to help make your dreams more vivid. (:

I seem to always have dreams but will forget most of them eventually if I don't write it in my dream journal.
