A soon as you awake from your dream write down what you can remember from the dream in a small book. Keep this book next to your bed like a personal diary.

You can also tell your self each night before you go to sleep, "I MUST REMEMBER MY DREAMS". Say this over and over and it will help to train your self to remember your dreams.

HOW DO I REMEMBER MY DREAMS?

One of the first steps in remembering dreams is the desire to do so. Getting enough sleep can also help because the length of the REM phase increases with the number of sleep cycles. The average adult sleep cycle is around 90 minutes so in the standard recommended eight hour slumber one can have about five cycles. Sometimes memory recall is inhibited because the sleeper does not wake up briefly (or perhaps briefly switch stages). One method to combat this is to set the alarm to awaken around 90 minutes into the sleep. This is not a permanent solution nor should it be used habitually. Regular sleep is an important part of maintaining health .

Another technique that can encourage dreaming and dream recall is to think about something you would like to dream about using your imagination and some basic visualization . While drifting off to sleep try picturing a pleasant scenario in your mind. It could be anything from a romantic rendezvous to meeting your favourite rock star to a tranquil walk in the park or on the beach. You are only limited by your imagination . Whatever you choose, play the scenario in your mind like a movie. If you fall asleep with these thoughts in your head, paired with a conviction to remember your dreams, there is a good chance you will have some success.

Keeping a record of dreams is a good way to promote recall as well. Sometimes writing things down spurns memory, but it's best to record dreams as soon as possible after waking.
