Dream Recall

I finally resumed my gym services. There are a lot of changes at the gym. Some rooms have been converted to store rooms. The gym owner ain’t there; so no one’s swearing at me or asking me to pay up first. :P There are several new faces (or bodies) I can see.

If there’s someone who’s happy reading this, then do care to read the next sentence.
What you read above was just a small snippet of a dream I had 2 nights back. :P
The fact is-I’m still reluctant to restart my workout counter. This time, thanks to the frequent rains.
I seriously wish someone would bless me saying ‘May all your dreams come true’. :P

I was wondering why we can’t recall all of our dreams? If you’ve noticed, we tend to remember only a small fraction of our dreams, if at all any. I found an interesting article and here are some excerpts…

“Dreams are a very important part of us and affect our lives whether we remember them or not. And by tapping into them, we can explore and work through issues before they have even come to light. One of the great benefits of dreams is that they can show us what we are thinking about or are concerned with in our lives, often at a subconscious level.”

If this is true, then why didn’t I dream about my ‘girlfriend’? :P
And what about the nightmares I sometimes get, wherein me or my friends get into fights, accidents and all sorts of problems? Sometimes people I know, even fall into wells accidentally.. LOL… :D
You might think that was juvenile, but sometimes I do get real crazy nightmares.. hehe

“Most people remember dreams, or at least remember dreaming, when they awaken in the morning. The reason for this is because the vast majority of dreaming occurs in the last third of sleep. But if you have little or no dream recall, here are a few tips that could help:

Learn how to “wake up slowly.” When you first wake up in the morning, lay quietly in bed and don’t immediately start thinking and worrying about the day ahead. Try to concentrate your mind on whatever it was that you were just dreaming about – even if at first you can’t remember dreaming about anything.

Many dreamers who practice this “slow awakening” technique say that it is important to lay still as they are waking up. Moving their bodies distracts their mind from being able to recall the last dream.”

Here’s the link, if you wanna read the whole article.

Wow. I’m gonna try this tonight or may be tomorrow morning. Pray that I do have a dream tonight. :P

My greatest fear is that I might doze off again, under the pretext of ‘slow awakening’.

MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!!! :)

[Post Edit] 15/07/2008

Last night I dreamt something related to ‘horse-riding’. That’s all  I can recall.
I don’t think you can practice ‘slow awakening’ when your mom almost kicks you out of bed to wake you up :)
