Remembering is Key

We wake up and simply don't remember most of our dreams - that's the reality - we may have 3-6 dreams per night for an average 7-8 hour night's sleep, but we're lucky if we remember a few dreams per week. Since most dreams come during the late hours just before we awake, you're more likely to remember dreams just after they occur (i.e., right after you awake). If you don't record your memory within even one hour after waking, you may forget it entirely or forget important details (names, places, faces, symbols).

Meditate on your Dream and do so in the Morning

We have a whole section on dream meditation tips that will walk you through some excellent advice on focusing on dreams and symbols, but the key here is to do your medication first thing in the morning - preferably, when you awake and are first recalling the dream. Go into your medication steps and meditate about the dream symbols used, persons, places, etc. to help bring clarity. Do this even on dreams that don't appear to have any Christian dream symbols or messages readily apparent. There still may be something below the surface of your memory that can be brought out through meditation.
