If you want to remember more detail from your dreams ask yourself this simple questions
1. Are you good at remembering the name of the person you just met?
2. What make you forget the name of the person you met just five minutes ago?
It’s a simple issue of attention. When you give your full attention to something, you are likely to remember it. Remembering your dreams is no different. Have you ever had the experience of remembering a dream when you are waking up, only to forget it by the time you got in the shower?
Dreams come through the subconscious mind to your conscious self like an echo in a cave. The first echo is always the loudest. If you want to remember more of your dreams, pay more attention as you are first waking up.
The best way is to keep a journal by your bed specifically for your dreams. If you write them down when you first wake up, you will remember a surprising amount of detail.
