7 Easy Steps for Dream Recall

By Laura V. Hyde

How many dreams per night are you able to recall? Are you willing to learn how and to practice remembering your dreams in more detail?

Dreams help us in countless ways and represent every area of our life. Dreams are powerful vehicles we can us to solve your daily issues for they provide ideas, solutions and insights. Literally, they are jackpots of information, especially when you ask for answers to specific concerns.

Today, you will learn effective techniques for recalling dreams.
What does it take for you to remember your dreams? Well, first and foremost, it requires willingness on your part to remember them. Why? Because our minds are so powerful that if we don't want to experience what our dreams are telling us, we block them. And the obvious way to block them is to simply not remember them.




Have you ever said or heard someone you know say this? Except for cases where medication, serious illness, drugs or alcohol is involved, MOST people don't remember their dreams because they're afraid of what their dreams are saying. Therefore, if you are afraid to hear the message of your dreams, you will unconsciously prevent yourself from remembering them.

Dream Recall Techniques to Practice
So, if you really want to recall your dreams and use them as a powerful tool for healing, awakening and growth, practice these techniques:

1) Set your intention to remember your dreams before falling asleep. Tell your higher self that you are willing to remember your dreams, even if it's only a small "snippet" at first.

2) Keep a notebook (or a tape recorder) near your bed. The more you record your dreams, the more dream recall you will experience. The other important reason for recording your dreams is that you will have clearer recall upon awakening. The longer you wait to write it down, the more clarity of the dream you will lose, including feelings while having the dream.

3) Allow any issues you are working on, or answers you are seeking, to come into your awareness as you fall asleep. Your dreams provide answers to every situation. Ask one question about a situation you are dealing with and trust that your dreams will give you the answer(s).

4) Immediately upon awaking, keep your attention focused on any dreams you had during the night, and/or on the most recent dream. Do not allow yourself to think about the upcoming day's events!

5) Record your dreams as soon as possible, even if it's during the night. Try not to turn on any bright lights or anything that makes noise. Doing so will often bring you out of a state of dream awareness and cause you to lose the dream completely. Record even the smallest bits and pieces of your dream. Often, they will be the catalysts for remembering the rest of it later in the day.

6) Focus on dream symbols and feelings while recording your dream. Recall the feelings you had during the dream and upon awakening, but be careful not to judge your dream. Remember that most dreams are metaphoric, not literal. People tend to think the worst about their dreams, which blocks their ability to understand them. Dreams are given to us to help us.

7) Make a commitment to remember your dreams and learn your own dream language for several months. As you do so, your dreams will become easier to remember and understand.
