Question: That is so cool Melanie, about recording your dreams so you remember them better! But is it true that you only remember dreams if you wake up during the middle of them? Because I've never remembered a dream when I've woken up.

  It is easier to remember a dream if you wake up in the middle of it or just after it. You probably have a very deep sleep phase towards the morning, so you find it harder to remember your dreams. You could try an experiment: Set your alarm clock to 45 minutes easier than usual, and see what happens. I can’t guarantee that you will wake up in the middle of a dream, but it’s worth a try (sleep cycles last 90 minutes, so you would basically shift by half a cycle).
