Do you ever remember your dreams?

I hardly ever remember my dreams but I would really like to remember them when I wake up. What would be the reason to forget your dreams when you wake up? Do you remember dreams? Do you have a technique for that?

I am always dreaming, probably because it's the medication I am taking but I can never remember them, the trick is to keep a notepad beside your bed so when you do wake up, the dream is still there and you can write it down, otherwise it is easily forgotten. Many people analyze their dreams. Thankfully I don't have too many nightmares, I always remember them, but not dreams, that's strange isn't it you remember nightmares but not dreams, wish it was the other way round.

It is said that the dreams you see when you are not sound sleep are the ones you remember, but somehow it is very rare that I do remember a dream, I get up with a feeling that I was seeing a dream but what it was is always very difficult to recall, at times only few incidents come to mind rest wash off.

I remember most of my dreams. I always think I should write them down to figure out what they mean or try to see if they have anything to do with what is going on in my life at the time. Most of my dreams are so vivid I am lmost more warn out waking up then going to sleep. I don't have a technique I just happen to remember them. I know some people will write about their dream as soon as they wake up. That way they haven't forgotten and can refresh their memory easier.

I guess it more or less depends on if I manage to get through the whole dream or wake up during it, or if it's the last dream I have of the night. I tend to remember the last one of the night the best, but there are even times that I can't remember for the life of me what I dreamt about. Depends on what the dream is about, and how much it would normally affect me. Those are the kinds of dreams I remember the best.

Sometimes i do remember my dreams especially when these dreams had me for a week! but those dreams aren't that good, 'coz if i had the same dreams for a week well it really does happen and those are not good experience! most of the time, they are not good and most of them gives me a headache and worst, my blood pressure shoots up when those dreams happen!so sometimes, i pray that i will not have same dreams again or i say sorry for my sins that day before i go to sleep. You, do you do that? well, it sure does happen! try it! Lastly, i also pray that one time God permits me to dream about numbers that i can bet for the lottery, well until now i still wish for that.....

dream interpretation, dream interpretation book - dream interpretation
I almost always remember my dreams. I regularly look up the symbols in my big fat dream interpretation book. I've been having recurring dreams, mostly about shopping for the perfect handbag. I read that you can train yourself to remember your dreams when you wake up. I heard that you simply have to do deep breathing and relaxation, and once you are relaxed, you repeat in your mind you will remember your dreams upon awakening. Keep a notebook by your bed and don't get out of bed until you've recorded your dreams. I also read that you can also change the outcome of your dream.

Now a days I can never really remember any dreams. I don't sleep enough to dream. But when I was sleeping well, I would always right down my dreams in a book and then read them at the end of the week. It was very interesting, I find that most of the dreams are a continuation of the following dream.

I remember certain parts of my dreams but do not remember everything. It is amazing how realistic our dreams can be. It seems like it is so real. Dreams can be entertaining. Its like watching a movie or being in part of a fantasy movie.

I don't seem to understand why, if I remember the dream then it happens in the near future. If I cannot then nothing happens. Why do these dreams happen in real life. When it happens I seem to remember the dreamas I saw it. If I do not remember then I have experienced it and it vanishes just like that. Even the image I'll not remember. Have any of you expwerienced this?

I remember most of my dreams and I have memories of dreams I've had when I was a child. The problem is that I dream every night so I cannot remember them all. I don't really have a technique, but I attribute this ability to the fact that I'm a light sleeper. I wake up many times during the night and that makes easier to remember what I was just dreaming. Apparently dreams occur during those periods when you are not in a deep sleep and are much faster than we think. You may also think that dreams occur while you are nearly awake and they are just your interpretation of random stimuli from your brain. Taking pills or sleeping aids works against remembering your dreams.

Hi ruler, I only remember my dream after I woke up from my sleep. I cannot really remember what I was dreamed after 3-4 hours I wake up. May be I have a low IQ to remember my dreams.

Sometimes I remember well my dreams...sometimes I remember that i dreamt but don't remember the details and the story behind. Some other times I don't remember at all...I also never understood what's behind forgetting the dream or if there is any way to remember them. Cheers mate!

I remember most of my dreams. Especially if they seemed so real to me. but there are dreams where i know i am in a dream but when i wake up, i would know i dreamed but can't remember exactly what the dream was. I have read that if you do want to remember your dreams, you have to have a notebook near your bed, so the moment you wake up, you need to write it right away so you won't lose your memory of it.

Hi Ruler. I remember parts of my dreams, like I am searching for something, or the vivid colors I often dream of. I dream of people that I used to know.. I never remember the whole dream if its a new one, but I always remember my reoccuring ones in great detail. Always remember the disturbing ones... wish I could remember the happy ones instead.

I tend to remember my dreams most of the time. I've heard that if you tell yourself to remember your dreams right before falling asleep can help with the recall of the dream in the morning, as well as writing down what you can remember as soon as you wake up--before you get out of bed to brush or teeth or get in the shower. (I usually don't do either of those though, and still tend to remember my dreams--but I sometimes do the former of the two methods, just for fun so I can make sure my dreams are not forgotten in the morning.)

About two years ago I watched the show on television about sleeping and dreams. We have the limits of sleep and if we break the line we just forget the dreams. I started to observe it, so I can give the example: my limit is between 6.30 am and 7.00 am when I remember all details of dream but if I try to continue my sleep till 7.01 am I just forget all or remember only small details! It's interesting.. Sometimes the limits can change but you should try this!
