| | | | | I Dictionary: Why is it that I don't remember my dreams? Dream FAQ Dictionary: Why is it that I don't remember my dreams? Does everybody dream? Why is it that I don't remember my dreams? A: [cf. section 6.4] Everybody dreams. Not only all humans, but infact all mammals are shown to have REM sleep, which is associated withdreams. It is a normal and necessary function of the body (though thedetails, especially the exact reason why it is important, areunknown). So if you think you don't dream you probably just don'tremember. People vary greatly in how much they remember of their dreams. Theperhaps most important reason why people forget their dreams is thatthey don't care. Western culture does not regard dreams as especiallyimportant, rather it regards getting out of the bed in time as aprevalent survival factor. This is bad in two respects as most dreamsoccur at the end of the sleeping cycle and are often interrupted, andthe necessity of getting up fast and keeping up with the scheduleoccupies peoples' minds and prevents them from thinking about theirdreams in the morning. Dream recall can be trained. Try to think over all what you havedreamed for some time before getting up and write it down soonafterwards. More info in section 6.

| | | | | I Dictionary: How do I have lucid dreams? Dream FAQ Dictionary: How do I have lucid dreams? How do you have lucid dreams? A. There are several methods of inducing lucid dreams. The first step,regardless of method, is to develop your dream recall until you canremember at least one dream per night. Then, if you have a lucid dreamyou will remember it. You will also become very familiar with yourdreams, making it easier learn to recognize them while they arehappening. If you recall your dreams you can begin immediately withtwo simple techniques for stimulating lucid dreams. Lucid dreamersmake a habit of "reality testing." This means investigating theenvironment to decide whether you are dreaming or awake. Ask yourselfmany times a day, "Could I be dreaming? " Then, test the stability ofyour current reality by reading some words, looking away and lookingback while trying to will them to change. The instability of dreams isthe easiest clue to use for distinguishing waking from dreaming. Ifthe words change, you are dreaming. Taking naps is a way to greatlyincrease your chances of having lucid dreams. You have to sleep longenough in the nap to enter REM sleep. If you take the nap in themorning (after getting up earlier than usual), you are likely to enterREM sleep within a half-hour to an hour after you fall asleep. If younap for 90 minutes to 2 hours you will have plenty of dreams and ahigher probability of becoming lucid than in dreams you have during anormal night's sleep. Focus on your intention to recognize that youare dreaming as you fall asleep within the nap. External cues to help people attain lucidity in dreams have been thefocus of Dr. Stephen LaBerge's research and the Lucidity Institute'sdevelopment efforts for several years. Using the results of laboratorystudies, they have designed a portable device, called the DreamLight,for this purpose. It monitors sleep and when it detects REM sleepgives a cue -- a flashing light -- that enters the dream to remind thedreamer to become lucid. The light comes from a soft mask worn duringsleep that also contains the sensing apparatus for determining whenthe sleeper is in REM sleep. A small custom computer connected to themask by a cord decides when the wearer is in REM and when to flash thelights.

| | | | | | I Dictionary: How can I improve my dream memory? Dream FAQ Dictionary: How can I improve my dream memory? How can I improve my dream memory? Before you fall asleep, remind yourself that you want to remember your dreams. Keep a paper and pen or tape-recorder by your bedside. As you awaken, try to move as little as possible and try not to think right away about your upcoming day. Write down all of your dreams and images, as they can fade quickly if not recorded. Any distractions will cause the memory of your dream to fade. If you can't remember a full dream, record the last thing that was on your mind before awakening, even if you have only a vague memory of it.

| | | | | | I Dictionary: How can I learn to interpret my dreams? Dream FAQ Dictionary: How can I learn to interpret my dreams? How can I learn to interpret my dreams? The most important thing to keep in mind is that your dreams reflect your own underlying thoughts and feelings, and that the people, actions, settings and emotions in your dreams are personal to you. Some dream experts theorize that there are typical or archetypal dreams and dream elements that persist across different persons, cultures, and times. Usually, however, the same image or symbol will have different meanings for different people. For example, an elephant in a dream can mean one thing to a zoo keeper and something quite different to a child whose favorite toy is a stuffed elephant. Therefore, books which give a specific meaning for a specific dream image or symbol (or "dream dictionaries") are not usually helpful. By thinking about what each dream element means to you or reminds you of, by looking for parallels between these associations and what is happening in your waking life, and by being patient and persistent, you can learn to understand your dreams. It can be helpful to keep a dream diary and reflect on many dreams over a long period of time to get the truest picture of your unique dream life. Many good books that can help you get started interpreting your dreams. See the ASD Book Suggestion List.
