This assumes that I have any sort of vague impression. I really don’t. I’ve tried many times to focus on any recollection from when I’m asleep, and it’s just blank. I don’t keep a journal because a whole bunch of pages saying “nothing” isn’t useful.
When I am falling asleep, I may have a dreamlike state of imagination. Never upon waking though.
Even just writing down loose associations and your emotional state is enough; that’s how you get the ball rolling. Try it for two weeks even if it feels useless. Unless you’re taking antidepressants in which case this might actually be ineffective. I know this doesn’t sound worthwhile, but I know from experience (mine and others) that it usually works.

Ooooooooh…. Antidepressants……..I take Wellbutrin.
Yeah, that could be it.
Welp, I enjoyed dreaming when I was younger. I’d rather be happy now.
