As mentioned by the authors, the causal relationship cannot be answered by this study. But if you want to recall your dreams more frequently, I highly recommend keeping a dream journal (also mentioned in the link). In my teenage years I went from remembering an average of a dream per week to vividly remembering 3-4 dreams per night. As soon as you wake up, immediately start writing all details you remember. Whether or not this increases your creativity in the waking world, it's fun to see what your brain constructs while you're asleep.
- typpo 4y agoI've written down every dream I've had for the past 10 years. Hard to say whether it's improved my creativity, but it's fun to search and see trends. Like you said, dream recall improves if you immediately record dreams upon waking. I wrote a very crappy web app for this back in 2012: http://keepdream.me/ http://keepdream.me/. It emails me every morning to ask what I dreamed and records my reply. There must be better alternatives now.
