As a general rule, the most vivid dreams you have will be lucid. This is not because lucid dreams are naturally more vivid, but because lucid dreams are more easily remembered. [10] X Trustworthy Source Cleveland Clinic Educational website from one of the world’s leading hospitals Go to source

Some people find the annoying sound of an alarm distracts them from remembering. If you aren’t having luck with an alarm, try waking up without an alarm. [17] X Research source If you’ll be sleeping around someone who will be awake during one of your REM stages (such as a roommate), you could ask that they wake you up instead of an alarm. Light-based alarms will wake you up with light rather than sound. This is generally a gentler way to wake up, and may make it easier to recall your dreams.

Even if you aren’t able to actively recall this step while you’re dreaming, thinking about doing it a lot while you’re awake should increase your chances of making it happen while you dream.

Dream signs include contorted mirror, and the experience of one’s teeth falling out.

Reminding yourself you’re dreaming won’t be easy unless you have experience and knowledge of your dream signs already.

Even if you’re not able to catch all of the dream’s events at once, getting the basic idea of it remembered at the start of your day will make it possible to remember smaller details throughout the rest of your day.

Check out a few different dream journals if you’re interested in broad interpretations and check if the interpretations match.

Don’t feel guilty or judged for whatever you’ve dreamt. No one can help the things they dream about, and it’s better to open up than to clam up about things that may be bothering you on a subconscious level.
