If you wake up during REM sleep (when you are most likely to be dreaming), you will probably remember your dream. Try writing down what you remember and maybe you'll remember a bit more.

Try keeping a journal next to your bed and jot your dreams down. That's what I did.

Think about what you want to dream about before you fall asleep and when you wake up write anything you can down.

10 STEPS TO IMPROVE DREAM RECALL1. Keep a notebook and pen at your bedside every night and during naps if you take them. This is especially true on your days off from work, when on vacation, or when away from home for any reason. People often have more dream recall when in a new or different sleep environment.2. Go to sleep with the conscious intention of remembering your dreams. Say aloud before going to sleep: "I will dream tonight and I will remember my dreams in the morning. I'll write down my dream as soon as I wake up." Imagine yourself writing down your dreams.3. Avoid using alarms or clock radios to wake. Try to stay in the same physical position in bed without jumping up.4. Avoid the use of alcohol and tranquilizers, both of which inhibit dreaming and dream recall. This is equally true of illegal and hallucinogenic drugs. Some medications such as anti-psychotics will also reduce dreaming, but others can cause nightmares. Consult your physician before discontinuing or reducing the dosage of any prescription drugs.5. Stay in bed a few minutes upon awakening and ask yourself what you were just thinking about. Where was I? What was just happening?6. Write down whatever comes to mind even if it seems completely senseless and bizarre. A short note is better than nothing at all. A fragment of a dream when recorded and reviewed will often bring back an entire dream. Dream fragments by themselves can be rich with information.7. While still in bed, go over the dream several times in your mind to memorize the events of the dream, no matter how bizarre or disturbing. The more disturbing or odd a dream is, the more important is the message to yourself.8. At your first opportunity, record the dream in its entirety on paper or by tape-recorder. Just record the dream without thoughts about its interpretation or analysis. Give as many details as possible.9. Drink a large amount of water before bedtime. When you wake up to urinate, try to capture what you were dreaming and make some notes. A few key words or phrases are often enough to help you recall your dream in the morning.10. Be patient and keep trying. The more you want to remember your dreams and the more you pay attention to the ones you have, the more dreams you'll remember. When you have too many to record and work on, commit to working on at least one dream per week in detail.##Only you know what your dream means. Your emotions IN the dream are key to meaning.
