[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 1398034, member: 115"] You know, I actually randomly knew that, for some strange reason, and not from you mentioning it before. I think one of my psych teachers mentioned it a long time ago. The way I was told to do it is to start by keeping a dream log. As soon as you wake up, write down everything you can remember about the dreams you had. Keep it on your nightstand so you don't even have to get up. As you do this, you'll start to remember more and more of your dreams - it's basically like training your memory. As you do this, you have to get a sort of image in your head, one that you can use so that you know you're dreaming - a symbol of sorts. For instance, I might think about phoenixes before I go to bed. Now, when your memory is really good, eventually you should be able to see this image, realize you are dreaming, and then influence your dreams. Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it long enough to show any results. I'm a light sleeper, which actually made it a bit easier for me, I just never really had the patience to do it. Besides which, when you have early morning classes, usually you don't have enough time to do this between showering, eating, and driving. [/QUOTE]
