Hello @CasLyn,

Just want to say that you’re not alone! An inability to remember dreams/improving dream recall is a popular point in dream discussions around here. Depending on a few factors, my recall ranges from remembering multiple dream sequences to not even remembering when or how I went to bed the night before 😅

Yes! Here are a few methods you might try:

> Megan makes a good point about medications affecting dreams. If you are currently taking anything, it could be worth looking into any potential dream-blocking side effects.

> If that’s not something you feel is affecting your dream recall, then there are few things you could try to help remember your dreams! 😀

> **Magickal methods of remembering dreams:**
> 
> - **Dream Tea** - [Mugwort](https://spells8.com/lessons/mugwort-wormwood-magic-properties/) is a potent tea for dreams, and [Jasmine](https://spells8.com/lessons/jasmine-magical-properties/) and [Rosemary](https://spells8.com/lessons/rosemary-witchcraft/) are also associated with dreaming. But other blends with sleep-assisting herbs like [chamomile](https://spells8.com/lessons/chamomile-magical-properties-love-luck-sleep-protection/), lemon balm, and [lavender](https://spells8.com/lessons/lavender-herbal-witchcraft/) can also assist with dreaming _(disclaimer: as with all herbs, it is wise to check with a medicinal professional and/or trusted herbalist prior to consuming new herbs as they can be very potent and may interfere with medications)_
> - **Dream Pillows** - instead of consuming the herbs in tea, they can also be combined with other ingredients to make a dream pillow that assists with dreams. [Sweet Dreams Pillow](https://spells8.com/topic/sweet-dreams-herbal-sleep-pillow/).
> - **Lucid Dreaming** - the ability to “become awake within your dream”, giving the dreamer more control and more over their dreams. This ability can be trained using techniques. [Lucid Dreaming](https://forum.spells8.com/t/lucid-dreaming-how-to-gain-control-of-your-dreams/30253).
> - **Dream Affirmations** - Setting your intention to dream and to remember the dream very strongly right before you go to sleep can help direct your mind to holding onto the dream.
> 
> **Mundane methods of remembering dreams:**
> 
> - **Afternoon naps** - Not the best option for everyone, but sometimes taking a shorter nap at a different time throws your mind for a loop. A bit disorientated, it can help the mind to stay more alert and increase your chance of remembering the dream. _(Afternoon dreams can be wacky, though! Just a heads up 😆)_
> - **Alarm** - set an alarm for an hour earlier than you usually wake up. The alarm can cut right into the dream - waking up immediately, so you remember things. This can work better than waking up slowly (when the mind forgets as it wakes up)
> - **Do some creative writing** - I’m taking a creative writing class and the teacher said that, after a few days of doing daily creative writing training exercises, you may start to have vivid and weird dreams. Hasn’t happened to me yet, but I guess some people have!

I hope you can find some recall methods that work for you. Blessed be (and sweet dreams!) ✨
