102.18 -> the morning this video is about the techniques
that we at DreamSpeak use to remember our dreams
111.06 -> first things first to have a better
relationship with our dreams we need to
116.16 -> have a better relationship with our sleep you
may have heard the term sleep hygiene this is
121.8 -> the idea that we need to prepare our bodies and
our surroundings to support deeply restful sleep
128.52 -> deeply restful sleep supports more time
in REM which is when dreaming occurs
133.86 -> just like dream interpretation the
goal should be Improvement no one's
138.54 -> sleep hygiene is perfect congratulate
yourself for small positive steps
148.44 -> let's keep track of the Big Ideas to
remember on the right side of your screen
155.7 -> staying healthy with a good
diet remaining hydrated and
160.14 -> keeping active are all important
preconditions to restful sleep
167.46 -> for most people your sleep environment should
be dark and free from light that seeps in
172.8 -> allowing the full length of time you
need for a night's sleep is important
176.76 -> for most adults this is no less than seven
hours but eight hours or more is optimal
184.62 -> avoiding stimulants or depressants like alcohol
for several hours before bedtime is important
190.38 -> both of these take a long period to be metabolized
and if they are still in our system while sleeping
195.42 -> we will have more disrupted sleep and more
time awake in the night eating too close
200.76 -> to bedtime can make you sleep more lightly
because your digestion is still working hard
209.76 -> avoiding screen time for a set period
before bed helps sleep be more restful
218.22 -> make sure the room temperature is
adjusted for your comfort as you sleep
224.16 -> you may find it fun and informative to get a
fitness band that allows you to monitor your sleep
229.2 -> you can use this data to discern which
lifestyle changes might help you get better rest
237.84 -> the most important technique of all is
setting an intention to remember a dream
243.54 -> we're going to offer several examples of
ways that you can phrase your intention
247.86 -> whatever intention you choose be consistent
in setting your attention every night
254.58 -> there is never a point you reach where
setting an intention ceases to be helpful
258.96 -> we have been setting an intention for dreaming
nearly every night for more than a decade
266.4 -> be experimental and playful with your intentions
270.96 -> vary them to keep your own interest and watch
what kinds of dreams they bring into your life
278.7 -> based on our experiences we've found the most
effective time for setting an intention is when
283.5 -> you're getting into bed and getting settled to
rest you can also do this for daytime sleeping
290.82 -> some people like to ritualize
the transition into sleep to
294.18 -> open themselves to the possibilities of dreaming
299.28 -> one idea is to put your journal or pen and
paper on your nightstand you could state your
304.2 -> intention as you turn out your light you may
wish to engage in a process of reflection on
309.18 -> your day or a prayer or meditation practice of
your own design to help calm yourself for sleep
317.16 -> a subtle but important point is about mindset
321.84 -> improving your relationship with dreaming has a
lot to do with valuing the experience of dreaming
328.5 -> as you state your intention if you
can generate positive emotional
332.46 -> states such as openness receptiveness
excitement or anticipation for a dream
338.7 -> it can help you remember your
dreams and dream more vividly
345.12 -> stay tuned because when we come back we're going
to share some examples of how you can phrase a
349.92 -> dream intention if you're enjoying this video
please give us a like and consider subscribing
356.28 -> to DreamSpeak don't forget to click the bell
to be notified when we post a new dream video
363.12 -> dream intentions can take many different forms
we at DreamSpeak have found it is best to choose
369.36 -> a single intention for each night but feel free to
experiment maybe you will find something different
374.28 -> to be true here are some examples to help you
get started setting your nightly intention
381.36 -> I will have a dream that I remember
so I can record it when I wake up
386.88 -> this is a wonderful dream intention to learn
because it is effective and it can be used anytime
395.16 -> an example of a dream intention that a religious
person might use would be dear god please help me
401.22 -> to remember and record a dream the meaning
of which will help me to do your will amen
407.76 -> to a person with a deep religious faith it will
410.64 -> be natural to invoke the will of the
creator when stating a dream intention
418.8 -> I will remember and record a dream that will
bring me fresh inspiration this is an example of
424.8 -> an intention that is meant to influence the type
of dream and the way that that dream will impact
429.48 -> waking life the following day for some people
this technique can be highly effective try it out
438.96 -> here is a series of examples that use a
dream intention to fuel your waking life
444 -> please let me remember and record a dream the
meaning of which will enhance my happiness
451.92 -> bring me peace add to my self-understanding
allow me to help others come up with your own
463.5 -> finally we will share a special kind of
intention sometimes we get a message but
469.14 -> we don't fully understand it if you want
further clarity on the meaning of a dream
473.7 -> you can ask to have another dream about the
same issue using the following intention
480.72 -> tonight I will have a dream that will further
clarify the message I received in my last dream
488.4 -> the thing to remember about this is that your new
dream will use completely different imagery from
493.32 -> the last there may be some points of connection or
overlapping imagery but there likely will not in
500.46 -> spite of this once interpreted you will find that
the dream contains the information that you asked
505.14 -> for this is an example of incubating a dream which
we will explore in more detail later in this video
515.52 -> when you wake up remind yourself to value every
small thing that you remember I occasionally
522.72 -> remember only a single image from a dream in
the morning but even one image carries meaning
528.96 -> for example I recently remembered the image of
accidentally closing a hinge on my wife's fingers
534.72 -> this was trying to help me keep proper
perspective on a negative experience I
538.62 -> had had at work a few days earlier because
it was accidental I was being told that the
545.4 -> problem at work was out of my control but
the symbol of the injury told me that it
550.02 -> had discouraged me anyway and that I should
allow myself some time to bounce back from it
556.8 -> you can get all that information from a single
559.08 -> dream image because the messages
from our dreams are always timely
569.1 -> if you have remembered an entire dream
or even several dreams all the better
574.44 -> now what should you do with this information
579.66 -> we have worked with people who have such a strong
relationship with their dreams that they will
583.8 -> remember them all day long and be able to recall
them even after a busy day at work but for most of
589.56 -> us including those at DreamSpeak we need to record
them to remember them the best time to record them
596.82 -> is now when you remember a dream or part of
a dream stop what you're doing and record it
603.6 -> recall as much detail as you can the location
the people whether it's day or night the colors
610.98 -> and especially the feelings you can never
have too much information about your dreams
618.06 -> keep in mind that every element of a message
dream carries meaning just like the words
622.32 -> of a spoken language jot down or record
even those things that don't make sense
629.1 -> there are two main places to record
dreams writing them down or using a
633.42 -> voice recorder there are advantages to each
639.18 -> writing down dreams allows you to keep a
dream journal you may find yourself forming
643.62 -> a special relationship with this book as you
write it as you fill your dream journal it
649.5 -> is fascinating to revisit the beginning
of your journal and peruse a few pages
654.12 -> the insights you will get into dreams
you had months earlier will amaze you
658.5 -> although I title every dream I record a long list
of dream recordings doesn't lend itself to casual
664.08 -> review the way a dream journal does if you are a
visual or artistic person drawing sketches in your
671.28 -> dream journal can be a powerful tool to immerse
yourself back in your dream while interpreting
676.68 -> having a physical place to write down your dreams
and taking the time required for writing goes a
681.66 -> long way to ritualizing the experience which helps
you build a consistent habit as well as helping
686.94 -> you to value your dreams and anything you can do
to value your dreams will aid in your dream recall
693.78 -> however the time it takes to write your dreams
down is also a drawback I have found it takes
699.3 -> me 15 to 30 minutes to write down a dream while it
takes me less than five minutes to record a dream
707.4 -> recording a dream is easy with the
voice recorder app on your smartphone
711.48 -> a big advantage to using a voice recorder is
that it allows me to keep my eyes closed and
716.7 -> keep the lights turned off which helps me stay in
the transition state between dreaming and waking
721.5 -> called the hypnagogic state as I narrate this has
proven important to my ability to recall dreams
729.24 -> some people recall Vivid
and detailed dreams easily
732.3 -> and this may not be a factor in choosing
between recording and writing them down
738.72 -> if you choose to write ensure your dreams are all
going into one repository whether that's a folder
744.9 -> on your computer or a notebook ensure that you add
a title and a date to each dream you write down
750.84 -> if you choose to record make sure your
phone is close at hand when you're sleeping
757.8 -> after recording a dream we recommend titling the
dream right away with a few words that stand out
762.78 -> based on these titles I can usually recognize my
dreams from the list for several weeks afterwards
769.74 -> then I can use the titles to notice if I am
dreaming about the same issues repeatedly
775.2 -> when I am interpreting the latest stream in a
series I can better understand how to navigate
779.4 -> my life by reflecting on several related dreams
at once the voice recorder will add a date for you
788.34 -> recording a dream in the middle of the night is
not uncommon for us but it may compromise the
793.32 -> quality of your sleep you are the best judge
of that we often find that our dream recall
798.72 -> is more detailed in these middle of the night
dreams and that we wind up with recordings that
803.16 -> can be longer than 10 minutes as a result these
streams can seem to be demanding our attention
808.32 -> with important messages which may be why they
awaken us over the years we have come to value
814.92 -> these middle of the night dreams enough to
briefly interrupt our sleep to capture them
824.88 -> incubating a dream is a term for getting an
827.7 -> answer to a question in a dream
receiving more specific guidance
834 -> we have found over the years that
you can receive an answer to any
836.94 -> question by asking for guidance from your dreams
842.22 -> to incubate a dream simply ask your
question inwardly with an open mind
846.72 -> and heart at any time of the day or night
it doesn't seem to matter when you ask
852.78 -> you will receive an answer to your question in a
dream message often the next day or within a few
858.24 -> days bear in mind that if we ask a question
that we are not prepared to hear the answer
863.34 -> to or if the answer to the question is beyond our
wisdom to grasp then one of two things will happen
870.3 -> either we will not remember the dream or the
meaning of the dream will be too nuanced for
874.86 -> us to unlock one of the principles of dream
interpretation is that we receive messages
880.2 -> that we are able to take action on right away
if we ask a question we will receive an answer
886.56 -> but it may not be timely and therefore
we may find the answer hard to comprehend
895.56 -> one of the best ways to improve the answers you
receive from your dreams is to let your message
900.3 -> dreams come to you naturally by setting
it in open-ended intention each night
905.1 -> and once you have noticed a particular issue
coming up for you repeatedly then incubate a
910.38 -> dream to receive further clarity on the issue
as we described earlier this way the issue will
916.38 -> definitely be something you can handle at the time
even if it seems like a challenge or a stretch
923.4 -> maybe you are a person who remembers dreams easily
what are your best techniques for remembering your
928.74 -> dreams please share them in the comments below now
that you are prepared to remember your dreams we
935.16 -> recommend that you watch either our video about
"Big Dreams" or "What do people and dreams mean?"
