Most of us are fascinated by the insight our dreams can give us into our subconscious mind – but dreams are famously difficult to remember, and we’ve all experienced the frustration of trying to keep hold of a snippet of a dream only to find it gone. Fortunately, dream recall is a skill which can be mastered like any other skill, with a little bit of effort and practice.

Get Plenty of Sleep

This is absolutely vital. If you are tired and stressed, you are much less likely to recall your dreams. Each of us has approximately 100 minutes of REM dream time during an 8 hour sleep period, but dream periods increase in length dramatically during the night. Your first dream, about 90 minutes after you fall asleep, will only last for a few minutes; by the time you wake up in the morning, your final dream may have been up to 45 minutes in length. So if you don’t get enough sleep, you’ll be missing out on the extended REM periods, which offer much better dream recall opportunities.
