帮助你回忆梦境的七个方法

What can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more clearly? The experts offer these tips:

为了更容易回忆起梦境并阐释它的意义，你应该怎么做才好呢？以下是专家们提供的一些方法：

1. Incubate an idea.Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topic or a person you'd like to dream about. Pose a question that's troubling you and see how your dream responds to it.

Follow these tips so you will be able to interpret your own dreams.

酝酿你的想法。在你入睡之前，下意识地去想你希望梦到的某件事情，或是某个人。提出一直困扰你的问题，然后看看梦境是如何为你解答的。按照这些方法做，你就能解释自己的梦境了。

 2. Keep track.Next to your bed, place a pad and pen, or a tape recorder or laptop, to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.

跟踪梦境。在你的床旁边，放好本子和笔，或是录音机，又或是笔记本电脑，这样你可以在醒来时马上记录下你的梦境。

3. Try to awaken naturally,without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can disrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn't allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journal on a weekend or during a vacation.

睡到自然醒。不要让闹钟或狗叫声打扰你的睡眠周期。如果你的时间表令你无法在工作周睡到自然醒，那么你可以选择在周末或是假期的时候睡大觉。

4. Wake up slowly.For the first moment after you awaken, lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recollect the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like "Late for an Exam" or "My Date with Ashley Judd." When you rise, immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can.

推迟起床。当你刚刚醒来的那一刻，躺着别动，也别张开眼睛。因为你的梦可能和你睡着时的身体姿势有关。努力回想你的梦，并给这些梦起个名字，记入大脑。比如“考试迟到”，或“我与阿什利·贾德的约会”等。起订后，马上记下任何你可以回想起来的画面，感觉和印象。

5. Connect the dots.To better interpret your dreams, try to make connections between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream? Look for patterns over several dreams that might helpexplain an individual dream.

把梦境碎片串连起来。为了更好的解释你的梦，设法把你回想起的梦境与最近发生的事情联系起来。你能认出那些人是现在的还是过去认识的吗？你能从梦境中探索到任何思想主题吗？寻找能串连几个梦境的线索能帮你去解释一个单一的梦。

6.Change the outcome.If you have recurring nightmares that make it difficult to sleep, try to change the endings. Once you awaken from a bad dream, visualize a change in the action to create a more positive outcome. If you are trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want!

扭转乾坤。如果你因不停做恶梦而难以入睡，设法把梦的结局改掉。一旦你从一个恶梦中醒来，试想象着一个行动上好的改变，从而扭转乾坤，让梦的结局变得积极。如果你被梦境困住了，尽力去想象吧。在你的梦境里，你可以做任何你想做的事！

7.Be patient.It may take days or weeks before you're able to recall your dreams in detail, but the experts advise to keep practicing. Dream memories are fragile, and trying to recall all the plot twists and turns on consecutive nights seems to have a cumulative effect.

要有耐心。可能你需要花几天或几个星期的时间才能回想起自己梦境中的细节，但专家们鼓励多尝试。梦境的记忆是很模糊的，能回想起所有起伏跌宕的情节和贯穿几个晚上的梦境是努力的累积得来的。
