1. Start a dream journal
2. Eat light dinners
3. Take B-vitamins
4. Sleep in complete blackness with no noise
5. Don't watch TV or use your cell phone for about an hour before bed, avoid all artificial light if possible
6. Take melatonin/valerian root

I used to write a dream journal in the form of quick bullet points of each dream every time I woke up in my phone. It turned my few remembered dreams a month into almost every day, I also used to take benadryl to sleep and it made me remember dreams more but still not as much as the journal.

What do I do for that hour? Stare at the dark?

Meditation, read by candlelight, listen to your favorite music or podcasts, phone a friend or loved one, whatever you want.
I shouldn't say absolutely no light, just nothing brighter than a couple candles. Red or orange light is better than white or blue light as well.

Be prescribed some kind of antidepressant. The ones I tried, then eventually got off of, made my dreams lucid to the point that I was confusing real life with previous dreams. Scary shit.

Samesies no dream bro.

Nothing helps, but its OK. Do you sleep well? I sleep like a rock.

I take Melatonin and Valerian.

Practice meditation.

I get maybe one dream a year. Been this way for 20 years, no problems.

I've been quite successful in life, it wont hold you back.

People will say, I don't dream! You do, you just sleep well. Your not missing a that much. Most dreams are your subconscious dealing with daily stress and anxiety. Desires, metaphorically.

Are there any negative effects from taking melatonin for a long period of time? I want to know if I'll be screwing up my body if I start to get dependant on it

PROZAC in a nutshell my friend. Got locked up while taking it and couldnt tell if my dreams were the real world or not.

If you're smoking weed regularly, stop. If you're not smoking weed, start.

Melatonin should only be used temporarily. It's to help people with insomnia. Melatonin helps the body become sleepy at the same hour every day, if that makes sense? ?Stop taking it once a sleep pattern develops. In conclusion, do not take melatonin if you don't have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep.

youll reduce your natural melatonin production
