| There are a number of ways to remember your dreams so you can uncover their secret meaning. Most experts will tell you to talk to yourself during the stage between waking and sleeping. 
This is when you're just awakening and images start passing through your field of vision. Tell yourself at this time to remember your dreams. Often the mere suggestion is enough to do the trick. Sometimes though it doesn't work immediately and you have to keep making the suggestion to yourself night after night before it finally works. Once you have started to remember a few dreams, it is vitally important to record them instantly after waking. The longer you wait to record them, the fewer details you will retain. Edgar Cayce, the gifted psychic who always encouraged dream study, believed the best time to think about your dream was before moving out of your sleep position. This is because your body helps you to hold the dream in your mind. Once you have moved, it is far more difficult to remember the details. He felt that even recording fragments of your dream would bring you great insights. In The Dream Workbook, Jill Morris suggests going through the names of everyone in your family and of all the people you work with. If you were dreaming of them, it will help jog your memory. Once you have a recorded dream, what do you do with it? |
