july

Sometimes I have ideas that are so clear in my head - I stop to think to myself, of course I’ll remember it later, i don’t have time to write it down

This happens to me most frequently with dreams

Start a dream journaling practice! It's fun and a muscle you can develop. Can be as a simple as: wake up, open voice memo app, say images/themes/etc from dream(s) you remember. The mere act of consciously acknowledging dream contents helps with remembering them. You'll be surprised at your recall the more you practice

It’s one tactic that’s worked for me. I find it less pressure than writing (though that is super helpful) and it’s a way to start building that recall muscle

I need to try voice memos - I tried dream journaling but I couldn’t find a balance between writing too little and spending too much time - became a speed bump first thing in the morning. My interest in dream journaling is it’s supposed to help you do lucid dreaming.

Forreal. I used to journal my dreams for anywhere from 30-60mins every morning. Some nights it was like 7 dreams...kinda crazy. Even though it was 5+ years ago, when I go back and read the journal, the dream imagery is vivid for 100+ distinct dreams.

I’ve done this a couple times and the weirdest thing is reading back a dream I had months ago and 100% remembering it like it was a memory 🤯 would’ve been gone in an instant otherwise
