I have worked registring most daily dreams for every day since 2001.
So I have plenty of books and sheets of papers with these.
Dream work can be easy, but it needs sustained intent.
THE WAY TO REMEMBER DREAMS:
There is a barrier as you all know, between the awake state and dream state.
Most dreams are not that deep, so as you awake, without still with eyes closed, try to recapitulate the most important dream details, one of twice (with close eyes), while you are still in that limbo, between the two states. But this should only take 10 seconds not mote. So, therefore only remember fastly the key things.
You could easily fall asleep again (unless you are on those people that jumps from the bed) or you can start standing up. My advice is: never stand up, since that removes fast the dreams from your concious memory.
Therefore, have a paper and pen (or mobile phone: it works for me best) and write the key parts (after remembering the dreams one or twice for a few seconds).Then, you can while in bed, relax, and all the other details will come to your head, since the memory is still fresh. The important is to remember the key facts to the all dreams (usually they are 3 to 5 to me), and then the details will come within that one minute you write the dreams.
You will never again forget the dream after you write it in detail.
Even years after , you will remember and recapitulate the dream again.
Concerning lucid dreaming, I think we are not "supposed" to force it, or to have frequently (well at least thats what I conclude for me). Therefore, I have a few (about 2-5) in a year, and I don't care about that.
Lucid dreams tend to happen if we awake for a while and then go back to sleep, usually in weekends.
Ah, another thing! If you wake up at 5 or 6, remembering a package of dreams, write then, then go back again to sleep. You will have another pack of 2-3 dreams, that usually are long and more vivid. That, happens once in a while for me.
And yes, there are a few days, every 5 or 6 days, that there is a night that I dont remember dreams so well, as they are more diffuse and "not so important".
You will also realize that you have more precognitive dreams than you think, and may guiding dreams. Others are just emotional outlets.
Two important things: I dont drink coffee or alchool. I sleep always about 7-8 hours. Sleeping less or taking any kind of drug affect dream recall a lot.
hope it helps for you
