[sensitivesoul]

Hi, I am curious about something. I sometimes have odd dreams with ALOT of symbolism to them.. at least of what I can remember of them. Teh thing is after about 30 seconds or so I forget them! It makes me frustrated cause I want to figure them out... any suggestions on remembering them? cause usually I forget a part of it as soon as I wake up.. it's really annoying haha:p

Hi SS, welcome to the nut-house.

There is something known as dream recall which if you practice enough you'll be able to remember your dreams a lot more vividly. With your intent in the right place you could train yourself to wake up after every dream finishes, which of course will be eaiser to write down the events of the dream. Always try to keep a pad and pen or tape recorder next to your bed just in case you need to hastily write your experiences down.

Before you fall asleep your brain will start converting those seemingly random thoughts and feelings you've had and are having during the day into often obscure metaphorical images and symbols - sorta like your subconcious' way of making sense of the (often senseless crap) that we give to it.

It's very easy to forget some of these images almost instantly after you've realized you're having them, especially during the brief period of conscious awareness before you drift off.

Try not sleeping for about 4 days - it's actually quite amusing to observe the constant chitter-chatter that your mind has to put up with.


...and yeah, a notepad certainly helps.

Ok I will grab a note pad for sure.. I have low energy so I don't know how long I could go without sleep but I will try it when I don't have to work thanks tho :).
