Recall Your Dreams

Did you know that everyone dreams every night? Throughout the night we progress through a variety of sleep stages, and in each our brain activity changes. One stage that is especially important is known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep; it´s called REM sleep because when we´re in it, our eyes move rapidly beneath closed lids. When you´re in REM sleep, you´re dreaming. Research shows that everyone goes into REM sleep several times per night. So how do you ensure that you´ll recall your dreams? Keep a notepad and pen by your bedside and write down everything you remember as soon as you wake up. The really zealous can set an alarm throughout the night to wake up while you´re in REM and actively catch a dream.
