Do you know that people forget approximately 95% of their dreams as soon as they wake up or shortly after? Scientists still don’t know exactly why we dream. But what they do know with certainty is that every person on this planet dreams for about 2 hours a night, even those who claim that they never do! Such people simply don't recall their dreams. Brain scans done on sleeping people show that their frontal lobes, which are responsible for memory formation, aren't active during REM (or rapid eye movement) sleep. And this is exactly the stage of sleep when you dream. See the catch? At the same time, though, there are some tricks you can use to remember your dreams better!

SUMMARY:
- When you get a proper night's rest, your mind can focus on remembering your dreams. On top of that, when you sleep enough, your dreams happen with shorter breaks in between.
- A dream journal can do wonders at helping you remember your dreams. Place a notebook and pen next to your bed. Before you go to sleep, open the notebook in advance so that you have a blank page to write on immediately.
- When you wake up, don't hurry to get up. It's better not to move at all. Focus your attention on some object in the room. This will make it easier for your brain to concentrate on what you experienced in the dream.
- f course, your dream journal should be right by your bed when you go to sleep in the evening. But don’t leave it there all the time. Take it with you wherever you go.
- According to sleep experts, REM stages of sleep take place every 90 minutes. That's why you can set an alarm to wake you up exactly at these intervals. The thing is that you remember your dreams only if you awake from REM sleep.
- You'll remember your dreams much better if you wake up in the morning naturally without the help of an alarm clock. If this is unreal in your case, set a timer that will switch on the lights in your room or ask somebody to wake you up gently without saying anything.
- Before you go to bed, make a deliberate decision that this night, you will remember your dreams! When you're already in bed, relax and free your mind from unsettling thoughts.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or coffee in the evening. The chemical content of these products affects your brain’s ability to remember dreams.
- If you take 240 mg of vitamin B6 before you go to sleep, you'll increase your chances of remembering what happened in your dreams.
- A good way to remember your dreams better is to change your sleeping position every night. This way, you interrupt your mundane night routine and, thus, the memories of your dreams are more likely to stay in your mind.
- Your memory is often triggered by different external factors. That's why if it’s later in the day and you’re still trying to recall a dream, lying down in the same position you had while sleeping might help your memory.
