One of my girlfriends mentioned that she has the same difficulty and turned me on to guayusa for help with dream recall. I did a little research and found a wealth of info on the web. Guayusa is a holly tree native to Ecuador whose leaves are brewed like tea. It's in the same family as herba mate. Indigenous peoples in the Amazon use the tea in a morning ceremony in which participants arise in the early morning hours, brew and drink the tea then share their dreams with one another. It is known as a dream aider that helps you cultivate intuition, connect to the spirit realm and recall your dreams. It is a healer plant used for many purposes and is considered a tonic. It's high in antioxidants and contains caffeine, theobromine and l-theanine. It could it be a great addition to a dream recall practice and is available locally in the tea section of stores like Natural Grocers and Whole Foods.
