Deep Sleep/Dreaming?

[imported_LoKe]

It's been a long time since I could remember having a dream. I know we always dream, but sometimes don't remember...well, this morning when I went to sleep I was exhausted, and I actually dreamt and it was kind of nice.

Why do I usually not remember dreaming? Am I not sleeping deep enough? Is it because I touch myself at night?

You're probably not waking up during your Rapid Eye Movement stage of sleep, which is when you dream. If you wake up during REM, you'll remember your dream much better.

It's hard to explain, but you know how right before you wake up, you're in your dream? Well, I haven't had that feeling in a while. It's not about "forgetting my dreams" because I don't remember having them in the first place. 🙁

Yeah, it's cool when you have that. It's even cooler when you can manipulate it 😛.

I had the same issue until I started taking a Zinc-Magnesium supplement (aka ZMA)mainly for my workout regime.

I found that not only was it helping me in the gym, but I had much deeper sleep and more vivid dreams. Apparently zinc/magnesium has been found to be a significant deficiency in most American diets.

Might wanna give it a try, it's fairly cheap and much better than taking some un-natural sleeping aid.

That makes sense. When you go to sleep exhausted and you wake up (when your body still needs more sleep and still is in REM) you remember your dreams better.

Going to sleep really late (thus waking up late) helps me remember my dreams because I naturally begin to wake up when it starts to get light in my room, no matter how long I've slept.
