Alright well I guess I just completed the first step, got me a journal!

Now I like that wake back to bed idea. I guess Ill set my alarm clock to 3:30 in the morning. But what other techniques are there for dreaming if I dont want to get disturbed during my sleep, lets say I have to wake up early in the morning and and I cant afford to wake up in the middle of my sleep. How can I give myself a better chance of dreaming that night and remembering it in the morning?
