Well, being the weekend, and with hubby getting up early for work, AND trying to stay on my side and not sleeping on my stomach to help with my neck issues, my recall ahs gone WAY up. Will see if this continues during the week when I am usually waken by my alarm.
Read more of the Suggestions, so am adding:
When you wake up in the morning, try to get out of the habit of immediately remembering what you have to do that day. Basically, your dream memories will fade instantly if you replace them with something else in your short-term memory. The best thing do to is to wake up with an empty mind and allow yourself to stay in bed, relaxed and without thought, for a few minutes before getting up.
And a suggestion from The Littlest Leaf Dragon:
I've read elsewhere that a good way to increase your recall immediately upon awakening is to breath properly - they recommended breathing in through your nose, and then breathing out with the "ah" sound, like you were trying to fog glass. I tried it this morning and found that after I started breathing like that I could remember the dream clearer. So I guess this would be a good thing to do in addition to the technique listed above.
