How To Remember Your Dreams
Hello everyone, hope you all have a great day. We are having our weekliy business meeting today, deciding on when we want to get our domiman today. We will keep you posted. For today’s post we are going to discuss ways that you can remember your dreams.
A few weeks ago my boyfriend insisted that he doesn’t dream. This is not true, everyone dreams. The reason some people think that they don’t dream is because they don’t remember their dreams, so today I am going to tell you some ways to remember your dreams.
The dreams that are the easiest to remember are the ones that leave the most impact on us, whether it be a happy or sad, angry or calming. They are usually really powerful. Most people don’t remember their dreams because they jump right out of bed and get started with their daily routine. Here are a few tips that will help you to remember your dreams.
1. During the day while your are going about your daily duties, tell yourself that you are going to remember your dream tonight. Then, once you are settled in bed tell yourself, that you are going to remember your dream in the morning.
2. Place a something next to your bed with your favorite scent. In the morning when you smell that scent it may trigger the dream.
3. Keep your dream journal beside your bed. Just knowing it’s there may help you to remember your dreams. Who knows you might just need it in the middle of the night.
4. Drinking a glass of water before you go to bed helps you to recall your dreams the next day. Also be sure to stay away from drugs or alcohol…they repress your REM sleep, which is the stage of sleep that we dream.
5. If you want to use your dream to try to work out a problem that you are having during waking life, write the problem done before you go to sleep. It is possible that your dream will deal with this problem.
6. When it is time for you to get up, don’t move! Don’t open your eyes! Remain still for a moment and concentrate on your dream. Remember how the dream made you feel, the mood of the dream may still be with you. Even if you are only able to recall a little of the dream, write it down. Ask yourself to remember the people in your dream. Did any of them look familiar? Keep in mind that things in your dream can often be disguised, and the person in your dream may not be that person in waking life.
For example: if you dream of the Queen of England. It may not be her but someone in your waking life that represents her. Practically, someone that you feel is trying to rule you.
Next ask yourself were the dream took place. Did it remind you of anywhere that you may have seen before? Does anything about the dream remind you of something in your waking life? How were you feeling in the dream? As you keep doing this you will get better at it. Remember, “Practice makes perfect”.
For thousands of years the try meaning of dream has puzzle many. Dreams were often considered prophetic. In Homer’s Iliad there was a passage where King Agamemnon is visited in his dream by a messenger from Zeus. The messenger told the King of his future actions. Even the bible had accounts of prophetic dreams, the most famous being the account of Joseph from the Book of Genesis.
Some though dreams to be extensions of our waking life. A carryover of things that happened to you during the day; things you experienced, thought about.
