dream recall
Morning memory retrieval
Dream recall is the ability to remember dreams after waking.
Some people have vivid dream recall and can recount detailed narratives; others remember little or nothing.
Dream recall tends to be strongest immediately upon waking and fades quickly.
Keeping a dream journal can improve it: My dream recall has gotten better since I started writing them down.
