Top 5 Ways to Remember your Dreams.

Time to remember your dreams and make an intention of it...Here is Wellness Hero's top 5 ways to support the remembering of dreams to look further into what is actually taking place.

1.  State an intention before you go off to dreamland.  It could be about remembering them in the AM, ask for people to see or places to expereince.  The possibiliteis are endless as dreams are just a state of consciousness.

2.  Have a journal ready to write them down.  First thing in the AM when you wake up before you get to far going  for other AM routines, try to make some notes or fill in the blanks of that dream log.

3.  Creating an environment for restful, recovering, repairing sleep.  Dreams occur in the deep part of sleep called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and supporting getting there is just as important as being there (not being woken up), so if it is going to bed earlier, making sure bathroom issues are taken care of or just setting the alarm @ a different time.  All can influence you remembering your dreams so eliminate any distractions when you are sleeping.  

4.  Make a habit of the above 3 for at least a one month effort.  Even if it doesn't happen daily, the statement of an intention out loud is a very powerful move, as well as having the tools to record (pen/paper, e-journal, voice recorder) when it is best for you do to so.  AM doesn't work for everyone, but accept that this is a process.  Even if you didn't dream, don't remember or don't have time, allow your self the patients to stay true for the times you do have to focus on you and your dreams.

5.  Enjoy the new habits you have created.  Look for meanings, feelings, and information about your dreams, they are yours to do what you like with.  Always remember, electricity doesn't work in dreams so if you aren't sure you are dreaming or not just look for the light switch, if you flip it and it turns on then you are awake....
