That's amazing Shaynard! And have you noticed how both our Avatars have the same Symbol, but just presented differently?

Yes, That's what I do. I have a notepad by my bed and just jot notes down.

I also find it helpfull to jot the dreams down in point form: putting each segment of the dream into a word. That way When I'm on my computer typing dreams down i can look at the word so the whole dream comes flooding back to me.

Another tip is to train yourself to wake up periodically throughout the night. Use an alarm clock or drink water before bed. Once you've established this routine you can remember a few dreams from each REM cycle. Melatonin can help with this as well. Melatonin is a chemical naturally produced by our brains while we sleep. A few mgs O melatonin puts you in a deeper sleep, and then gives your brain a bounce back effect to wake you up, or make your dreams more vivid and memorable. I actually use melatonin regularly to help me sleep better, since often my mind goes haywire with thoughts before sleep.
