Try this exercise every day this week: write down a dream. Many people say they can’t remember any dreams, but if you do this exercise for just the next seven days you’ll discover something interesting: You DO start remembering them. Have a notebook right by your bed. While still in your hypnopompic state, write down anything you remember – even if it’s just a ‘feeling’. The next morning you may recall a feeling and ALSO someone wearing a red sweater. As you begin recalling more and more each morning, step backwards into the dream, writing down the memories from the one that happened last to the one before that. And try to remember sounds, tastes, touch, and smells, as well as the usual visual images we associate with our dream life.
