Everybody goes through a period of little to no dream recall, and it’s obviously extremely annoying; so, here are a few tips for successfully overcoming your dream recall dry spell.

• Keep a written dream journal, even if you have a digital one. For some reason, writing down dreams for some people can really confirm to their brains that they do remember, and that they want to continue to do so. It sounds weird, but it works.
• Get more sleep. Six to eight hours is a very healthy amount of sleep. Too little can affect not only dream recall but your overall energy.
• Wake up ten to twenty minutes prior to when you usually do. What this does is not only wakes you up in the middle of a dream so that you can remember better, but it also gives you more time to actually write down your dream in your written journal.
• Don’t drink fluids within your last hour before going to sleep. Waking up with a full bladder can affect your thoughts when you wake up. Instead of thinking about what dream you just had, you’ll be thinking about how much you really have to use the restroom.
• When you wake up, try to train yourself to not move at all. Don’t even more your eyelids. Simply consciously wake up, and then go over the dream in its entirety before you do anything else. This will ensure that you won’t forget your dream before you write it down.
• If you can’t remember your dream at first, keep a pen and pad around you during the day, so that when something does trigger a memory, you can write it down!
