Notebook being probably the number one tool in cultivating the conscious interaction with dreams. First thing is to make it a point to remember them first thing in the morning, prior, ideally, to even moving from or around in bed. Keeping the journal next to the bed and making a resolution to be in the dreams, all else that's needed is the time and discipline in the morning.

I rarely cry in waking life. More often in dreams. A few weeks ago, there were these two people playing music in the subway stations. Each was playing a droning instrument. One string, maybe. The other was  blowing into a long, painted PVC pipe. They were strangers to one another. Their instruments played two notes that created a perfect harmony with each other. I sat between them and was overcome. Feeling the perfect vibrations. Tears streaming down my face.

Another thing is to write in the present. Not, "it was", but "it is". This puts you back in the dream. Write from the perspective of being in it. The more often we do this, the more we remember. We cultivate or re-cultivate the skill.

... is one of the first dream songs I ever remembered well enough to write down. My best friend was singing it in the dream. In a concert. His name is Emilio Zef China. He's pretty amazing. Plays violin on this recording by MadhaPPy. The drums are a Roland MC-505. Rivka is the other vocalist. I'm playing a 1969 Danelectro guitar.

Great question. For that alone, @somethingsubtle, I'm following you. And yes. I have been doing dream work for years and it always has an immediately calming and grounding effect. Just the act of cultivating the relationship between the aspects of consciousness is an exercise that builds our presence? And what else but being present is there?
