really excellent advice alexbeyman!! i will use it to remember many things besides my dreams.
you wrote "dreams are unimportant to survival and need to be deleted to make room for survival pertinent stuff." - that is right for most of the people. However, i have an observation based on real life experience regarding that fact: for some creative people like writers or artists, dreams can be very useful. it happened to me more than once that i've been working on a story and couldn't find the ending - then it came to me in a dream. i've found many of my story's idea from my dreams. same happened to my film director friend. - i'd really like to know your thoughts about what i've said.
ps: i wish i had known of your technique earlier, then i could use it to remember my dreams more perfectly. (i always keep a pen and pad beside my pillow to write down my dreams)

Oh indeed that's true. I meant from a survival standpoint why our brains work that way. But for sure as a writer I draw very heavily on imagery and feelings from my dreams. You will discover writing down a short, one sentence long mnemonic device saves you the trouble of trying to fully describe the dream in writing before it fades from memory.
i used to write my dreams in details in order to remember them; and i'm really grateful to you for your advice - it would help me a lot from now on. May Allah bless you :)
