If you can avoid waking up via alarm clock, it helps a lot. Dream memories are subtle and easily lost with abrupt awakening. If you wake up slowly, you gradually cement them in your conscious memory. If you wake up and keep your eyes closed, you can remember the dream for a few minutes before getting up. And of course there are the basics: a dream journal -- even just jotting down a few words will do the trick like for example: blue house, flying machine, giant snake. That's usually enough to remember the gist of it later. Just write down the words that most trigger the memories.
I did the polyphasic sleep thing for a while -- didn't care much for it. I guess I never adjusted.

Before you go to sleep, intend to remember your dreams. Voice that intention if you want, repeat it to yourself in your head, have some sort of nightly physical ritual you do -- do whatever you have to do to remind yourself to remember.
Equally important, keep a dream journal. Write your dreams down as soon as you can. Don't put it off or you'll forget. You'll find that this process is like a muscle. Exercise it, strengthen it, and the work becomes profoundly easier. This is also the most basic step towards a lucid dreaming practice. You have to become more aware of the fact that you are dreaming in general.

Dreams during day naps are the most lucid imo.

They mean no more than what you give meaning. Once you realize inside the dream that what you are actually experiencing is your own consciousness the possibilities are endless. For starters, next time you lucid dream try and just listen to some of the random people talking, you can literally analyze your own sub-conscious.

Q'uo offers the same recurring advice as outerheaven. http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0704.aspx Quote:S1: Yes, Latwii. Why would someone not remember their dreams?http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0110.aspx Quote: http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is...3_0518.pdf Quote:entities have the opportunity to choose what they wish to intend. It is a choice which then may be held in remembrance, in intent. If, for instance, one goes into the sleeping state with intention to remember the dreams and explore them, that intention begins to have strength as the new resource is used.http://llresearch.org/transcripts/issues...2_0712.pdf Quote:I am Q’uo, and am aware of you query, my sister. We feel that you have well prepared yourself for the work with dreams, and can only suggest that you provide yourself with the tools for recording your dreams as soon as you have experienced the dreams as is possible. The repeating and reminding to the self that you wish to remember the dreams is most important. I also can't remember my dreams all the time, it comes in bursts for me. I suspect I don't respect it enough yet to consistently remember clearly.

I recall seeing some L/L channeling transcripts where some go along the line, "I am having difficulty with this contact and ask the instrument if he will simply speak without analyzing that which he receives." Similarly for dreaming, sometimes the remembering is made harder because rational analysis of a dreamer kicks in during dreaming to discount the dream by telling the dreamer, "This doesn't mean anything" or "This doesn't make any sense". The dreamer agreeing with the analysis continues to sleep, instead of recording the dream as soon as possible, and may forget some or all of the dream content by the time the dreamer wakes up. |
