There is much knowledge that can be extracted from dreams. A lot of people tell me they have trouble remembering dreams, so let me first offer a little advice on that issue. By following the steps below, you will be better able to recall your dreams.

• Buy a dream journal; keep it on your nightstand.

• Meditate for at least five minutes before going to bed, and tell yourself that you will remember your dreams. This allows you to set the intention.

• During the night, if you awake after a dream, write it down in your journal. (I keep a tape recorder next to my bed, so that I don't need to turn on the light. In the morning, I simply transcribe the tape into my journal.)

• Learn to recognize that moment before waking, when you haven't moved physically but you know that you are about to wake up. Do not move physically, and do not open your eyes.

• During this brief period of time, teach yourself to review all the dreams you can recall that night.

• After recalling all you can, your first physical movement should be to open your eyes, then to pick up your pen and begin journaling your dreams.

• Repeat the procedure every night if possible. You will get better with practice.

• Start sharing your dreams with someone with whom you feel comfortable and see if they have a different take on what they believe the dream symbolized.

• Keep practicing. Just as consistent exercise makes your muscles stronger, so too will practicing these steps make you more conscious of your nightly journeys.

Some people are concerned that certain dreams are premonitions of future events. A lot of these dreams have to do with airplane or car crashes, or relatives or people themselves dying. These are probably just dreams, so there should be no cause for alarm. One difference between the average dream and a precognitive dream is the point or stage in the sleep cycle in which the dream occurs. A dream has a greater chance of being precognitive if it occurs right before you wake up. Such a dream is sometimes offered as a premonition, a warning of impending danger, or just something you should be on the lookout for. It is given to you right before you wake up, so that you have the best chance to recall it. If this type of dream is offered to you in the start or middle of your sleep cycle, you will probably not remember it by the time morning arrives. If it does occur at the start or middle of your sleep cycle and you remember it, simply write it down in your journal. If you remember this type of dream, it is probably of some use to write it down, but don't be overly concerned. Yet, please note that paying attention to your gut feelings takes precedent over any specific instruction or information offered in this book.
