I have been remembering my dreams most nights and recording them for a little longer than a year. About 2 weeks ago, I moved from Illinois to Denver. I am comfortable with my surroundings and sleeping situations here, but find myself unable to remember dreams? I did have a tiny bit of trouble adjusting to the altitude here. I really wish I could start remembering them, I enjoy writing down my dreams and reading them later a lot.
You could try mediation or use self hypnosis and repeat a phrase like " I will remember my dreams " desert rat
just wait. there is plenty of time. yr unconscious will always let you know when it has something important for you. now you have it you cannot lose yr ability to recall dreams altho environmental factors such as you describe will affect this. did yr change to a new environment happen smoothly or was it against yr wishes? is yr bed aligned the same direction as the bed in yr old room? cheers!
My old room is not shaped like my new room and I AM here on my own will. I am happy to be here too. I think I may have got a few glimpses of dreams but it's cloudy.
I meant is yr bed pointing the same direction ... like, North, or West, or what? which side did the sun used to come up in yr old bedroom and which way does it now? change yr bed around so the sun comes up the same side it used to in yr old bedroom.
eat extra old cheddar cheese a few hours before going to bed...i heard it triggers and I have had wicked good dreams doing this
This is my first time hearing about this... I've also heard good things about fish oils before sleep.
I live close to Denver myself! Welcome man, I hope you enjoy our state! I know moving states can be hard, it feels weird calling another state your home Anyways, I know most people who come from other states to Colorado can find the altitude to be a huge adjustment like you said, it takes your body and mind awhile to "sync" with the climate. It's also a big issue moving states, you perhaps feel a little depressed? I almost don't even need to ask if you feel nervous or anxious, we all do from time to time, and especially after events such as moving. I believe it is possible with these negative feelings that your psyche may be blocking your dreams to keep you from fear or any possible self destruction. I also find when physically drained, or emotional exhausted that nights seem to be less about dreaming and more about sleeping. Are you having easy sleep? If so, don't be too concerned. Either way, I don't think you're having any serious problems, it may take up to 2-3 weeks to have your routine start to sink in, in which case you should dream again. Always tell yourself you want to remember your dreams before you fall asleep, it seems strange and unessecesary, but it seems to work well! Good luck man! Don't worry too much, we all want change, but when change comes around, we realize what we need to let go
Do you smoke weed ? I can't remember my dreams when I do, I have to stop smoking for like 2days at least to start remember them
I LOVE DENVER! Seriously, it's wonderful, I hiked to the top of a mountain in Boulder, saw all kinds of art on Santa Fe, and went to the free theater in Colfax. I fell in love. Work is taking me to other places though, I was in Arizona for a month and a half and in a few days I'll be heading back to Denver after having Christmas in Illinois. I'm excited to say that I'll be in Denver for 2 months! Too bad I get drug tested for work, but soon I hope I can enjoy the new laws!
it really doesn't matter if you remember them or not when you wake up. when your in them that's where you are. you probably don't remember much about what happened that day when you were awake when you're in them either. well you don't need to. just different places, even when they superficially resemble each other.
