I'm not sure why, but I almost always describe my dreams in this manner. Whether I'm writing them down or telling them to someone else. I think that this is because it's the best way of making sense of dreams. In most dreams, I wouldn't even know I had a body by looking, I just "know" I have it. I think it's just easier to describe it from the point of view that is the most familiar to us. -Hatter “Write your dreams down from a first person perspective and write them as if they are occurring now.”

After years of keeping records of my dreams, I have also managed to refine it down. One thing that helps me, is to just jot down the keywords initially and fill in the details later. I try and use words that describe what emotions I was feeling as well as descriptive keywords. Reminding yourself of the emotions seems to trigger more details later on. I've written an article here about my experiences : http://www.lucidfun.com/blog/dream-recall-techniques/ Hi there,
