Alarms

I was curious to know if it is still possible to have good dream recall if being woken up by an alarm. I started trying to recall my dreams about a week ago and the last 3 days i have woken up by alarm and remembered next to nothing.

I wake up to an alarm every morning, and my dream recall is just as good when I don’t. Have you only tried for these 3 days? If so, just read up on some skills that are on this forum. Try this page!!. I don’t think this post belongs in this forum, but anyways :welcome: to LD4all

An alarm won’t hamper dream recall if you make a routine out of it. My problem used to be waking up after my dreams. I used an alarm to initially wake me up about 4.5 hours into the night so i would awaken after a rem period. Then i wouldn’t use the alarm the rest of the night. I automatically woke up after each dream. I just needed that initial “start up”. But i’m sure with some practice and intent, you won’t even need it. :happy:

An alarm shouldn’t make it any harder to remember your dreams. Just make sure to keep a dream journal to improve your recall.

Thank you very much for your help on this. Ill start waking up by alaram on weekends to get into a habit of it then. :slight_smile:
