you have to catch a dream before you lose it to get started, but once you get into the habit of writing down your dreams and bodily awareness when you’re awake (pinching yourself to see if it’s real, for example - in a dream your fingers will pass right through the skin) you may gain better memory upon waking. lots of people say to write them in a physical journal, but i just have a notes app page going with several years worth of dreams. here are some silly ones from recently

I used to do this every single day from when I was 17-19 then I slowly started to fall off… but now I only do it when the dream is crazy memorable. But when I did it every day it made me realize I did dream every night I just would immediately forget it if I didnt record it!! I can still kind of remember them when I go back and read them. They’re so funny.

first thing i do when i wake up is remember what i dreamed last night and write it down in the notes app, i try to give as much detail as possible. the when a few days/weeks/months have past i read what ive written down and just start lmao-ing bc it is genuinely the craziest sht. its really fun

as soon as you wake up. jot down everything you remember, try and describe it with as much detail as you can before it drifts away. you become more aware of how your subconscious works and it will be easier to revisit those spaces. you'll also become a better writer because it forces you to try and capture the uncapturable.

It’s slow going at first but then it’s like channeling a cryptic, psychic version of yourself daily. Write down whatever nonsense you recall when you first open your eyes or it kinda leaks away. Listen to the beginners guide to dream interpretation by Clarissa pinkola Estes for a primer. Why not??!
