How to recall your dreams better

Why don’t I recall my dreams

Actually all people dream and the reason you think you don't dream is that you just dont remember them.

During our sleep we pass by different stages, one of these stages is called the REM (rapid eye movement) stage. The REM is a stage where your dreams become so clear. the problem with dreams is that they are too volatile and that's why people forget about them as soon as they wake up however there are still some actions that you can do in order to remember your dreams.

In this article i will tell you what you can do in order to recall your dreams better.

How can I recall my dreams better

If you cant remember your dreams then try to do the following and you will be able to recall them better:

  • recalling dreams tip#1, keep a diary: sometimes you might wake up at the middle of the night with a volatile memory of your last dream. If you slept again you might forget about the dream when you wake up. keeping a diary beside your bed would be a great idea because you will be able to record your dreams then wake up to read them.
  • recalling dreams tip#2, sleep longer: While we are asleep we go through the same sleeping cycle more than once. As you sleep longer the REM stage of the cycle becomes longer and so you get a bigger chance to remember your dream. If you woke up in the middle of the REM stage you will probably remember your dream
  • recalling dreams tip#3,wake up slower: when you are asleep your subconscious mind becomes in control and your conscious mind becomes dormant. As soon as you wake up your conscious mind starts to slowly recover and so if you woke up fast you might not be able to remember your dreams. Try to stay in a bed a little with your eyes closed and wake up slowly and you will find it easier to recall your dreams

Final words about recalling your dreams

In most cases dreams are just messages sent to you by your subconscious mind. It would make no sense to make a lot of effort trying to recall your dreams while you don't intend to solve the problems you have in life after understanding the dream.

Once you recall your dreams and understand them do your best to respond to the message your mind is sending you so that you live a happier life.

Interpreting your dreams

Once you manage to write down some of your dreams its time to learn how to interpret them. The worst thing you can do when you attempt to interpret a dream is to use an online dream dictionary.

The problem with these dictionaries is that the people who wrote them are never aware of the fact that symbols have different meanings for each person!

If i own a Ferrari then certainly seeing one in my dream will have a different meaning than the meaning it would have had if i didn't own one. That's why you are the only person who should interpret your dreams!
