The answer is that you don't have to make yourself dream, you dream every night! It is just a matter of if you remember the dreams.

When we are asleep, we travel between various stages of sleep. One of those stages is REM sleep (Dream sleep). We have several episodes of REM sleep per night.

During sleep, the brain metaphorically 'tidies up' the brain; - it sort of files away all of it's experiences from the sensory stimuli which has imposed itself on our sensory systems and consequently our brains during the day.

When we are in REM sleep we can become semi - conscious and we become aware of this tidying up process. This is when we say we are dreaming. As I say, we experience several of these episodes in one night of sleep.

There is a processing system in our left hemisphere, which likes everything to be logical and to follow a linear pattern, so it takes our semi - concsious experiences in these episodes and tries to make sense out of them. (Sometimes failing utterly)

This is why dreams can seem so disjointed, because the tidying up process that you witness at the various points of REM may contain totally different information. This is why, in your dream you can be driving a car one minute and in another setting doing something else the next minute.

If you want to influence your dream, you have to think of what it is you want to dream about as often as you can during the day, to try to put the memory trace in your mind in as many ways as possible.

Try it!

I dream everyday of my life. Never have i gone to sleep without dreaming that's why i think everyone dreams, the thing is you got to learn to remember your dreams i think. You have to have a strong imagination. If not, there are exercises and ways to improve your imagination.You also have to have a strong memory as well as a strong connection with your subconscious.

Regular sleep patterns coupled with adequate amount of sleep will help you recall your dreams as well as enjoy a more restful sleep. If you don't get enough quality sleep, your sleep may become disjointed and as my current experiencial research is illustrating (at least to me) it will make you sleep much harder and it's almost as if you spend more energy recuperating from your lack of sleep than actually experiencing the recuperative benefits of sleep. Do you ever wake up worn out and feeling like you need another nights sleep tto get some rest? That could be what's happening. You'll be better rested and might even recall your dreams more clearly if you regularly get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Something you might want to try is training yourself to recall your dreams. Before you lay down, tell yourself you will remember your dreams upon awakening and repeat the same statement upon lying down and again as your head hits the pillow . Hone in on your words repeating them as often as you are comfortable as you drift off to sleep. Upon waking writing down what you recall from your dreams as soon as you wake up can help you in remember a bit more each time. Eventually you may want to work towards lucid dreaming, but lets tackle one preoject at a time.

i could say that objectives are extra of a ability for the subconscious to talk promptly with the ego. The ego may be the component to you that's conscious which you're dreaming and staring on the dream as though it have been a action picture. The ego is the component to you that, once you awaken, says "Now what the heck exchange into that one and all approximately?"

as you are falling asleep, think of pleasant scenes and senarios...you can program your mind to have good dreams...so keep it positive...
when you wake up, the trick is not to move until you have recalled the images.....changing body position erases the memory quickly.
good luck...good dreaming, Dream Weaver
