Recordar los sueños

He will get into bed, and having turned off all the lights, will lay on his back with his eyes closed and place both hands on his solar plexus.

He will be totally quiet for some time, and, once he is completely relaxed, physically as well as mentally, he will concentrate on Morpheus, the god of sleep.

A pad or notebook and a pencil should be placed under the pillow so that they can easily be found, even in the dark.

When one wakes up, one does not have to move, because any movement shakes up our “values,” and then the memory [of our dreams] is lost.

A retrospective exercise is needed in those moments when we want to remember our dreams.

The Gnostic has to take notes — carefully — of the details of the dream or dreams in the notebook or pad, which he placed under his pillow. In this way, he will be able to have a detailed record of his inner progress in “Dream Yoga.”

When nothing is left in the memory, the retrospective exercise must be based on the first thought we had at the moment we awakened. That thought, obviously, relates to the last dream.

The Gnostic must be very demanding with himself, and learn to create favorable conditions to remember and understand all those inner experiences that always occur during sleep.
