The Dream Thread

[omcasey]

I can't remember my dreams. I remember maybe 3 or 4 of them.
What can I do to start remembering my dreams more frequently?

Hi, Observer..

A good first step is to begin journaling.

Each night before you lay down, pick up your journal knowing you are about to go in there and gather data to put in the journal in the morning.. [and even at intervals during the night, like if/when you wake to use the bathroom, etc..]. Sit here for a moment really letting this sink in. Notice the feelings that are arising in you while doing this. Then go to bed. Any time you begin waking, lay perfectly still and do not open your eyes. Lay there until something of where you just were begins coming forward in your awareness. This could be details, sensations and/or feelings. It should take no more than a few minutes, something like 1-10 minutes..

When getting up, before going on to do anything else, reach for your journal, open it up and write down what has come forward. Write this knowing that what has come forward is the most important piece of information from the evening. The piece of information that is the most pertinent, and beneficial to you [knowing]. Even if it is something as simple as the feeling-tone of what was just happening. Let this be a daily practice.. let there be no day that goes by without writing down something.

After beginning, each night as you lay down go over what was written the night before. See if this brings up any questions in your mind. Go into the night consciously putting these questions to your Inner Guidance. At about the week mark, sit down and go over the whole week's worth of logs. See if any patterns are forming, if a bigger/clearer picture is developing. Do this also at the month mark(s). This is when it begins getting really interesting. When thing's really begin filling out into more cohesive patterns, interests and insights. Into more clearly apparent communication between your Inner Layers and you.


Begin each log with the date
and under it state the time of night/morning; if it is night, state why it is you have woken
under this state if you were dreaming, vivid dreaming, lucid dreaming or AP/OBEing [even if you do not remember details]
then go into what it is you have brought forward


I hope this helps..
just get started, the momentum begins building super fast

note: times and reasons for waking not stated but I suggest this data for your personal logs
