Now if you're one of those people that has difficulty remembering your dreams, even though you know you've dreamt but you can't quite remember what you've dreamt, there are some little tips and techniques that I can tell you which will help you. First off, if the alarm goes off in the morning and it wakes you up, fine. When you're lying in bed and the alarm's just gone off, do not move. So don't change your position in the bed. Stay there in the same position. The reason being that, it's weird, it's like when you move around it almost kind of knocks the dream out of your head in a strange way. Okay so that's the first thing; maintain that still position while you start recoiling the dream. The dream may come back in little fragments and little pieces, so what you want to do is just latch onto it. If you remember an image, a color, a person, a feeling, latch onto those things and kind of pull that dream back in those little fragments. The other thing, the other tip I have, is that if you have a dream in the middle of the night or at some time during the night, and it wakes you up, you wake up out of the dream. Very often you say to yourself, oh I'm going to remember this dream in the morning. This dream was so vivid absolutely I'm going to remember it. Then you'll find you wake up and oh my god it's just totally gone, and that's frustrating isn't it? So what you need to do is have a pen and paper by your bed, and somewhere where it's very easy for you to just roll over and just grab that pen and scroll down. Scroll down anything about the dream that you remember because it's going to help you to remember the whole dream. So if, for example, you just scroll down a few words, you know there was a box in the dream I remember that, so just write down box, or the number six, or whatever it may be. Anything that can help you remember that dream later on. And sometimes we like to use a pen that has a little light on the end of it, like a little flashlight pen or particularly if you do sleep with a partner, and you don't want to disturb them while you're writing your dreams in the middle of the night. So then you would then be able to just roll over and literally just have the little flashlight on so that you can write you're dreams in the middle of the night. So it's very important, and you'll also find that the more you write your dreams down, it's like once they feel like they're being payed attention to, they start to come more. So the more you write them down, the easier it will be for you to remember them in the future. So that's just a few tips on remembering your dreams better.
