Dreamwork
aids in dream retention and understanding. The Zen Alarm
Clock comes closer to providing a natural awakening than any
other wake-up aid.
For best results, as you are falling asleep at night, resolve that
your first thought upon waking will be the recollection of your
dream. Whether or not you are in the middle of a REM cycle
when the chime wakes you, your best dream memories will be
available in your first moments of waking consciousness. Before
opening your eyes or moving, lie quietly and try to remember
your dream. Recall the sequence of events and the most vivid
images. When you have a conscious memory of your dream, you
are ready to open your eyes and get up. Keeping a notebook by
your bed to write down your dream memories can also be helpful.
Discovering the value of your dream life can be richly rewarding.
