THE DREAM RECALL
TALLY SHEET

    This tool for measuring and recording dream recall
was developed  for  use in the A.R.E.  Dream Research
Project.  Many participants  in  that  project found the
tatty  sheet  to  be   a  helpful  device  for  encouraging
more  regular  and  vivid dream recall,  and so we are
reprinting    it     here     for     your     own     use    and
experimentation.  As a research tool it may also prove
useful  for projects we may wish to undertake through
this   journal,   such  as   testing   the  effectiveness  of
training  methods  for  improving memory  for dreams
or  for  relating dream recall to cyclical variables like
biorhythms.
      To maximize  its  effectiveness  as  a  research tool,
we are printing  the  instructions in  the same detailed
manner   in   which  they  were  given  in  the  previous
research   project.    But   when    used    for    personal
purposes,  please feel free  to modify the tally sheet to
your  own  needs.  As  a  personal  tool  it  is  designed
primarily  to  provide  for  daily attention  to  even the
smallest  dream  memories,   thereby  cultivating  over
time more regular and complete recall.
