One of the most common refrains Patch and Sara hear from clients and listeners is, “I don’t remember my dreams.” Not remembering dreams is a common difficulty and it’s also a real obstacle to analyzing and applying dream wisdom. In this episode, Patch and Sara give some advice on how to start remembering your dreams! You’re gonna wanna hear this one.
Remembering Dreams Episode Recap
First, Sara breaks out the trusty Shaman’s Dream Oracle Deck, then draws the “In the Hand” card. Look at the Universe as your partner. Take a look at your background and how you were raised to think of the divine. This shapes your worldview. Cast aside the blocks that view may have created in your life, and trust that you are in good hands. It’s time to connect with your higher self. Patch posits that dreams are a conduit to connect with the divine.
Moving on to our main topic, many of our listeners, as well as our social media followers have expressed frustration with not remembering dreams. You can’t take advantage of all your dreams have to offer if you can’t remember them! So, how do you remember them? Everybody dreams, and many scientists believe that all mammals dream.
What To Do?
The number one way to remember your dreams…is to want to! Set your intentions. Before bed, write down your intentions to dream and remember your dreams. Do some research and check out quality books on the subject at your local library. Sara points out that this lines up with the Law of Attraction. What you focus on in life will expand and grow. Before long, you will start to remember your dreams.
Dreams originate from the part of the brain that creates short term memories, not the one responsible for long term memories. Thus, we must immediately write the dream down when we wake up. Whether you use a pad and pen or your phone’s notes app, prioritize recording the details right away. Patch recounts a recent dream he recorded on his phone’s voice app while still in the liminal state between sleeping and waking. This was almost like his subconscious left him a voicemail.
What If These Steps Don’t Help Remembering Dreams?
If we are not getting results right away from setting intentions, we should still journal when we wake up. Writing down whatever our mind is on when we wake up can still help our mind with remembering dreams. You are reaching the first rung on the ladder. This sets the intention in our subconscious. It’s always listening to you. Even writing about what your emotions are when you first wake up helps.
Talking about your dream journey with a friend is another helpful hint. When you have a partner or group to share your dream journey with, it helps you to grow the mental muscles involved in remembering dreams.
More Helpful Advice On Remembering Dreams
While getting a great night’s sleep is important, we tend to recall the dreams we wake up during. Patch advises listeners to approach this path cautiously. When you drink a lot of water before bed, your body will likely wake you in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Before you get up to empty your bladder, consciously ask yourself, “Was I dreaming?” Take a moment to ponder anything you can remember.
Alternately, you can set an alarm to wake you at an unusual time at night. If you wake up at 7am, set your alarm for two hours early, and you will wake up toward the end of your final REM sleep cycle. Some believe that setting an alarm every 90 minutes is helpful, considering the timing of most people’s sleep cycles.
Finally, Sara created a hypnosis spell to assist with accessing higher knowledge by remembering dreams. You can access this hypnosis by joining our Dream Circle group.
