Learn Dream Hacking to Recall Tonight's Dreams Tomorrow Morning

What problem would you solve if you could do it in a dream? During sleep our minds can innovate, create, and solve problems. Research shows that this sleep time mental processing is essential to our mental health and contributes to physical health.

Here's the good news. Almost anyone can have total recall or put another way, hack their dreams.

This is how I get ideas for some paintings like One Thousand Two Lips that you see here. And yes, there are 1000 lipstick kisses making up the painting.

Follow These Seven Steps to Hack Tonights Dreams

1) In a thermal insulated mug, put ice and enough water for a drink. Unless you have a medical contraindication, upon going to bed and once ready for sleep, take a sip of the ice water. Place a lid over the remaining ice to preserve it.

You want it to melt into ice water in the morning. Use a coaster so it does not leave a ring on the furniture. In the morning upon waking up, take a drink of the ice cold water. You will have an instant and total recall of the dreams from the night before. You will need to wake naturally.

It works best if you gently get up to drink the water. No sudden movements.

2) Keep a journal or diary and write down what you dreamed about. For some, they may fade away as fast as they come back. Make this a routine. Keep a pencil and paper at the bedside. Better yet, keep a tape recorder. Record them as soon as remembered.

3) Discuss them with others. This reinforces the consciousness or awareness of your thoughts during sleep. It also creates a neural pathway to reinforce future recall.

4) Talk to yourself. Before going to sleep, have an internal conversation about your desire for total recall. Talk about your desire to pay careful attention and that you want to recall the dream in the morning. Do this just before dozing off.

5) When you awake naturally, don't get up or sit up. Review the dream with your eyes still closed. Then slowly reach for your pen and paper and record your memories.

6) Validate the value of having the right brain deliver up the memory. Give an acknowledgement for getting them in vivid color, full recall of the action, and details.

7) Find a partner to discuss dreaming with. The goal is to have two different people to discuss your thoughts with during the day. These processes create a neural pathway that improves the chance of future recall.

Whatever dreams may be, may they be productive and happy. Know that you can have control over them and have total recall if you know how to start dream hacking.
