Here are some easy ways to renew and refresh your

relationship with your dreams.

One: Set an intention for the night
Before you go to bed, write down an intention for the night. This can be a
travel plan (I would like to go to Hawaii or I would like to visit my
girlfriend/boyfriend). It might be a specific request for guidance (I want
to know what will happen if I change my job). It could be a more general
setting of direction (I ask for healing or I open myself to my creative
source). You might simply say, I want to have fun in my dreams and
remember.
Make sure your intention has some juice. Dont make dream recall one more
chore to fit in with all the others.
Having set your intention, make sure you have the means to honour it. Keep
pen and paper (or a tape recorder) next to your bed so you are ready to
record something when you wake up.
Record something whenever you wake up, even if its at 3 a.m. If you have
to go to the bathroom, take your notebook with you and practice doing two
things at once. Sometimes the dreams we most need to hear come visiting
at rather anti-social hours, from the viewpoint of the little everyday mind.
If you dont remember a dream when you first wake up, laze in bed for a
few minutes and see if something comes back. Wiggle around in the bed.
Sometimes returning to the body posture we were in earlier in the night
helps to bring back what we were dreaming when our bodies were arranged
that way.
If you still dont have a dream, write something down anyway: whatever is
in your awareness, including feelings and physical sensations. You are
catching the residue of a dream even if the dream itself is gone. And as you
do this, you are saying to the source of your dreams, Im listening. Talk to
me.
Two: Practice Conscious Entry into the Dreamspace
You don't need to go to sleep in order to dream. You can enter dreaming
from a quiet place of meditation, from the twilight zone between sleep and
waking, or through shamanic drumming. You may want to check out my
drumming CD, Wings for the Journey. You can take a favorite picture and use
it as a personal dreamgate. Imagine yourself stepping behind that line of
trees in the landscape painting, for example, and having an adventure on
the other side. Or take a favorite piece of music and let yourself flow with it
into a series of dreamlike scenes.
Three: Play with the Dreamlike Symbols of Everyday Life

It's fun to devote a little time every day to tracking the dreamlike play of
symbols in everyday life. It's also very interesting how, when we give more
room to studying coincidence and random messages (in the vanity plate of
the car ahead, or what comes on the car radio, for instance) we seem to
unlock the nocturnal dreamgates and more comes through.
Four: Be Kind to Fragments
Dont give up on fragments from your night dreams. The wispiest trace of a
dream can be exciting to play with, and as you play with it you may find you
are pulling back more of the previously forgotten dream.
