Dream recall

When attempting to astral project and astral travel, the first thing we should learn is how to remember our dreams. Without it, we could be having all kind of wonderful experiences, but never be able to recall our dreams.

Most people do not remember a lot from their dreams. Some event think they do not dream at all. But nothing is further from the truth. Scientific research showed that everybody has roughly 7 to 9 cycles of dream sleep during every night. We only just forget what we dreamed in the morning.

Dream recall is not that difficult. Actually, once you get the hang of it, it comes almost by itself. However, once that happens, we tend to slip and our efforts are lost. So that is a tricky one.

But for now, let us concentrate on a routine that works wonders and is easily implemented.

In the evening

Make a strong commitment to yourself to remember your dreams in the morning. And also to do the exercises for the morning. Because one of the difficult things will be to remember to do the exercises in the first place.
So make a strong commitment to remember your dreams. If you are able to fall asleep while repeating this to yourself, all the better. But I find that I sometimes have a hard time falling asleep while doing this. But feel free to try it. But it is better if you can.

In the morning

Do not move!

That is important as moving tends to make dream recall harder.

Then, do a retrospective exercise. This means that you try to remember your dreams actively. How? Ask these questions to yourself: before I woke up, I was doing … ; before I woke up I was in the following place … And try to fill in the blanks. After some days with this routine, you will see that you will start to remember dreams.

Keep at it

Do not be discouraged if it does not work in the first days, or even the first weeks. Try to keep up the practice scheme and you will see that it will work. Some people start remembering dreams straight away, others take weeks. But all who keep at it succeed!

Next time I will reveal another clue from the esoteric traditions, that have far less scientific background, but who nevertheless are VERY VERY potent. Actually, I found these to be even better than the scientifically tested ones. See you then

To the astral!
