How to Remember More Lucid Dreams Tonight in 3 Easy Steps

It might come as a surprise to you that one of the first skills you need to learn for lucid dreaming is dream recall. If you can’t remember your regular dreams, you’re certainly not going to remember your lucid dreams. And what’s the point of having a lucid dream if you can’t remember it? Remembering your dreams can be a challenge. Many think they don’t dream however all of us have between four and five dreams every night. The key is to remember them.

Tonight, as you’re lying in bed before going to sleep, practice the following exercises. These are designed to clear your mind of stray thoughts from the day, relax your body, and then program your subconscious to remember your dreams.

Mentally Relaxing

If you’re tense or stressed, training your mind to remember dreams will be difficult at best. The first step is to learn to relax and let go of the thoughts swirling around in your head. Try to keep your mind as clear as possible. Don’t worry if stray thoughts pop in. Just let them go and clear your mind again. Allow them to float away like a bubble rising in water. Do this for about five minutes.

Breathing and Physically Relaxing

Now focus on your breathing. Feel how you breathe. Breathe in and out normally but become aware of your breathing. Breathe in and tense the muscles of your feet then breathe out and relax the muscles of your feet. Breathe in and tense the muscles of your lower legs then breathe out and relax them. Do this the rest of the way up your body until you come to your head. When you feel completely relaxed say to yourself, “I’m going to sleep now to dream. When I wake up I’ll remember my dreams.”

Visualizing

Now comes the most important part. Visualize yourself waking up after a dream, even if it’s in the middle of the night, and writing down your dreams in a dream journal or recording them into a digital voice recorder. Keep repeating your intention to remember your dreams and seeing yourself recording your dreams until you fall asleep. This programs your subconscious mind to remember your dreams.

Most people don’t focus on their dreams so they normally don’t remember them at all or only remember bits and pieces. If you focus your mind on the desire to remember your dreams then when you have a lucid dream you won’t forget it. Follow these simple steps and your dream recall will start improving almost overnight. Once you can remember your dreams, it’s time to move on to the next steps of your lucid dreaming journey.
