I find it is best to have a notebook or pad by my bed at all times, this notepad is used only to record my dreams in and never leaves my bedside. No matter what time of the night I wake up at I can record my dreams straightaway and not risk losing them while I am looking for a pen and paper.
When you first wake up in the morning, you should close your eyes for a few seconds and try to remember some of your dreams. Dreams are just a series of different images, and by remembering just one or two you could trigger the entire sequence. If you find it difficult to remember a single image, try to remember your feelings during the dream. Were you happy, sad, angry, etc.
The first thing you should do every morning is to write in your dream diary, before you do anything else. Write down every single detail that you can remember, even if that doesn’t make sense to you, or you don’t think it is relevant. I suggest you begin by writing down the basic framework of the dream, the theme, and your feelings, and then include all the details as though you are writing a story.
The more regularly you write down your dreams the more associations you will be able to make. You will notice that particular people or objects will make regular appearances, or you may notice that you dream about the same place but with different people. You will also begin to notice patterns in your dreams, and associate these with your feelings at the time, such as stress, or happiness.
By keeping a full record of your dreams, you’ll be able to discover your own method of controlling out of body experiences. This is not something that you will acquire instantly, it requires practice and concentration, but will happen eventually.
