i keep a notebook and pen at my bedside and before my feet even hit the floor, my pen is scratching out whatever I can recall about the dream. it helps!

Take a few minutes when you get up to jot your dreams down when you wake up. It’s a good way to transition to being awake and sometimes dreams are worth reflecting on, even if they’re just funny or nonsensical or beautiful.

Want to mystify your own life? Start writing down your dreams. I started a dream journal during the Covid-19 pandemic and I really recommend it.
I started my dream journal because I wanted a record of my dreams that I could consult. I often get the feeling that I dream about things I've dreamt of before, sometimes they feel like continuations of old dreams, or they exist in the same plane, or they are very similar to other ones I've had.
It's not a high maintenance thing at all, I am TERRIBLE at keeping normal journals cause I forget. But a dream journal is perfect. You write down only the dreams you remember or make an impact on you. Months go by without me writing anything in there. Once in a while I pick it up thinking I've only written 5 dreams in there only to find out I hhave forgotten about loads other dreams I recorded in there. I always leave space after each entry so I can go back months later and add notes.
Your dream journal could even be on PI.FYI! I'm thinking of writing some of mine on here. I would love to snoop other people's dreams... e.e

at least casually. don’t delete the accounts but don’t have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
don’t use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something you’re not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if it’s not what you’re looking for lol — as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)

keeps it funky, keeps it fresh! a book for outside, a book for downstairs, a book for bed, a book for the subway, a book for the bathtub…..
