I remember reading a book called the Breakthru Dream that had a quiz. According to what you told me about your dream recall you would rank very low on that scale. Not a derogatory scale, just somethign that showed how close you were to total conscioiusness in your dream. |
Expanding on this advice with some intervals that work for me:
1st alarm: 4,5 hours after I go to sleep
2nd alarm: 90 minutes
3rd and every following: 60 minutes
If I write some clues down immediately, the level of recall later that day is amazing. I can usually write down 2-3 pages of dreams for one night.
I noticed another benefit - the more I remember my dreams the better mood I'm in. Some dreams can really get creative and I can enjoy them as much as a great movie. No, not just the sexy ones.
Another tip, try to use a really gentle alarm, just enough to wake you up. I use a short whispery "wakey wakey, you're dreaming" recording.
