Weird, i was reading about lucid dreaming yesterday and as my dreams i generally am pretty poor at remembering thought it would be a good start to try and write them down when i wake up.
The page said a pretty good method to at least remember your dream is to set an alarm a number of hours after you sleep, i tried 5, you then wake up possibly in the middle of a dream and if you totally concentrate on that past dream you can go back into it sort of thing with the intention of remembering it's a dream, while in it.
What actually happened is i couldn't get to sleep, kept waking up and turned off the alarm before it went off so i could just get some sleep lol.....but it did give me loads of dreams, i've yet to actually have ever needed an alarm in my life...usually wake up just before it.
Anyway the last one i wrote down and i'll quote in my half asleep, note speech "Had a package delivered outside while doing something (i was on our drive can't remember why) doing something with pins (i noticed i had pins stuck in my trouser legs) he maneuvered a bit (in car) not delivery van...estate car. Kept getting/losing signature slip, kept sticking to my knee...eventually did it...ended writing, Nice Guy!!!"
That's generally what my dreams are like no wonder i struggle to differentiate them from past memories, that 'note speech' makes it sound more mundane but i couldn't remember enough to make it into a nice story and was trying to be quick. Interesting!
