Keep a dream journal by your bed
Write down dreams immediately after waking
Stay still for a few moments after waking
Focus on recalling any images, feelings, or fragments
Set the intention to remember your dreams before sleep
Get enough sleep each night
Wake up naturally when possible
Avoid alcohol and drugs before bed
Reduce stress before sleeping
Use a consistent sleep schedule
Review your dream journal regularly
Rehearse dream recall during the day
Ask yourself what you were dreaming before getting up
Keep lights low when waking at night
Record even small dream fragments
Use voice notes if writing feels too slow
