幫你回憶夢(mèng)境的七個(gè)方法

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

　　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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　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 help explain an individual dream.

　　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!

　　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.

　　幫你回憶夢(mèng)境的七個(gè)方法 選自【讀者文摘】

　　為了更容易回憶起夢(mèng)境并闡釋它的意義，你應(yīng)該怎么做才好呢?以下是專(zhuān)家們提供的一些方法：

　　1. 醞釀你的想法。在你入睡之前，下意識(shí)地去想你希望夢(mèng)到的某件事情，或是某個(gè)人。提出一直困擾你的問(wèn)題，然后看看夢(mèng)境是如何為你解答的。按照這些方法做，你就能解釋自己的夢(mèng)境了。

　　2. 跟蹤夢(mèng)境。 在你的床旁邊，放好本子和筆，或是錄音機(jī)，又或是筆記本電腦，這樣你可以在醒來(lái)時(shí)馬上記錄下你的夢(mèng)境。

　　3. 睡到自然醒。不要讓鬧鐘或狗叫聲打擾你的睡眠周期。如果你的時(shí)間表令你無(wú)法在工作周睡到自然醒，那么你可以選擇在周末或是假期的時(shí)候睡大覺(jué)。

　　4. 推遲起床。當(dāng)你剛剛醒來(lái)的那一刻，躺著別動(dòng)，也別張開(kāi)眼睛。因?yàn)槟愕膲?mèng)可能和你睡著時(shí)的身體姿勢(shì)有關(guān)。努力回想你的夢(mèng)，并給這些夢(mèng)起個(gè)名字，記入大腦。比如“考試遲到”，或“我與阿什利·賈德的約會(huì)”等。起訂后，馬上記下任何你可以回想起來(lái)的畫(huà)面，感覺(jué)和印象。

　　5. 把夢(mèng)境碎片串連起來(lái)。為了更好的解釋你的夢(mèng)，設(shè)法把你回想起的夢(mèng)境與最近發(fā)生的事情聯(lián)系起來(lái)。你能認(rèn)出那些人是現(xiàn)在的還是過(guò)去認(rèn)識(shí)的嗎?你能從夢(mèng)境中探索到任何思想主題嗎?尋找能串連幾個(gè)夢(mèng)境的線(xiàn)索能幫你去解釋一個(gè)單一的夢(mèng)。

　　6. 扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤。如果你因不停做惡夢(mèng)而難以入睡，設(shè)法把夢(mèng)的結(jié)局改掉。一旦你從一個(gè)惡夢(mèng)中醒來(lái)，試想象著一個(gè)行動(dòng)上好的改變，從而扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤，讓夢(mèng)的結(jié)局變得積極。如果你被夢(mèng)境困住了，盡力去想象吧。在你的夢(mèng)境里，你可以做任何你想做的事!

　　7. 要有耐心。 可能你需要花幾天或幾個(gè)星期的時(shí)間才能回想起自己夢(mèng)境中的細(xì)節(jié)，但專(zhuān)家們鼓勵(lì)多嘗試。夢(mèng)境的記憶是很模糊的，能回想起所有起伏跌宕的情節(jié)和貫穿幾個(gè)晚上的夢(mèng)境是努力的累積得來(lái)的。
