Excerpt: There can be many reasons why you do not remember your dreams when you wake up. But first I need to make it clear - every night we dream, because the consciousness is not bound to the physical body and it does go out. Although we do not always wake up with the memories of our journeys in the dream world and beyond, there is what to do about that. Guidance below.
When our consciousness emerges from the physical world it arrives at a world that is close to earth, the one that is near our 3D physicality, which is not perceived by the average man's senses. Most of the experiences in this world are able to be comprehended by the mind and therefore we are also able to remember them upon awakening. However, when our mind wanders into more distant worlds, it can no longer analyze what is there, and consequently remembers almost nothing. It's like if I ask you to explain to a blind person the feeling that goes through you when you see the sunrise. A blind person who has never seen the sun rises does not have the tools to understand (= "mind") the feeling you are trying to convey. In the same way, in the more distant dimensions we must use other perceiving tools, such as intuition, emotion, inner voice, to find our way. This type of distant dreams is responsible for the good feelings we have sometimes in the morning without being able to remember exactly what happened.
Therefore, there are times when the mind does not remember dreams because consciousness is farther away and involved in deep psychic activities. You have to allow this and understand that the dreams' remembrance will return. At the same time, try to give yourself the appropriate suggestions to indeed "remember" also the journeys in the distant dimensions. This will happen with training.
Here are some practical tips to help you to remember your dreams upon awakening. As in most things in life it requires perseverance. The reward worth it:
- While awake, stay as long as you can in the present moment, do not fantasize about the future or sink into memories of the past.
- During your day, state your intention to connect with your broader self. Do it in a relaxed mental mode; do not struggle with the idea.
- Just before you fall asleep, say out loud - "I will remember my dreams when I will wake up" or "I will wake up after every dream and remember it."
- Treat your physical needs before bedtime – toilet – and do not eat too much.
- It is recommended to avoid electromagnetic energy utilities working in the room during your sleep and one hour prior to that (electric sheet, stereo system, computer, phones, etc.).
- Warm the bed but not too much. During sleep the body's temperature decreases (the farther you go the cooler the body gets). If the body is cold, it will "call" the consciousness to come back and your dreams will be disturbed.
- Avoid arousing strong emotions before bedtime (crying, sadness). Emotions create an energetic mask that blocks the movement of consciousness.
- Before bedtime, avoid all thoughts, focus your attention on the sensations - the touch of the sheet, the sounds in the room, your body's position - and then fall asleep.
- And the most prominent tip - if you want to remember your dream have a dreams log! Write your dreams every morning, no matter how short and vague they are. This practice will train your mind that dreams are important to you and worth remembering.
Dreams are as natural as our daily routine. It is almost inconceivable for me to imagine not remembering my nocturnal journeys. At first, it was not so obvious but with practice I had more and more recollections. Some of my major decisions in life were made after I had consulted with my dreaming Self.
But, one needs to act! It's not enough to read articles about dreams or try for a few nights. Persistent is the key.
Happy travels.
