away. You will need Journal Pen Bed Consistent sleep habits Comfortable mattress and friends

and family. Step 1. Keep a journal and a pen right next to your bed at all times. Writing

down your dream first thing in the morning will help with remembering details. Step 2.

Wake up slowly in the morning. Take a few extra minutes under the covers to retell your

dream in your head. Once you've got an internal grasp on the dream, write it down before getting

out of bed. Those peaceful moments between sleeping and waking are called the hypnagogic

state. This can be a good time to remember dreams and take time to relieve stress. Step

3. [Sleep consistent] Maintain consistent sleep habits, including going to bed and waking

at the same times each day, keeping snacks light before bed, avoiding caffeine and alcohol

before bed, and sleeping on a comfortable mattress. Step 4. [Talk about your dreams]

Talk to your friends and family about your dreams. Talking about memories can help conjure

up details you may have forgotten and help with the interpretation of symbols that seemed

beyond you. Step 5. Draw pictures that you see in your dreams in your journal if drawing

pictures is more helpful than describing them in writing. And remember to date your journal

entries. Before you know it, you'll have a fabulous collection of dream memories. Did

often signaled that a person was dreaming. They found that about an hour after subjects

fell asleep, the subject experienced rapid eye movement and changes in brain waves.
