Keeping a Dream Journal

Author : Doreene Clement
An effective way to keep a journal or diary is in a dream
journal. This type of journaling is used to record and
track your dreams after you are awake.Upon waking, even before you get out of bed, take time
to be silent and recall your dreams. Then, reach for your
dream journal on your nightstand. This journal can be a
blank book or a notebook. Plus, you can keep your pen
and a small light or flashlight on your nightstand, too.
You can also use a tape recorder to record your dreams.Date each entry with the date, day of the week, and time
you are writing down your dreams. Start writing your dreams
in the present tense, as if what you dreamt is happening right
now. Whether you wake in the morning, the middle of the night
or after a nap, write down all the details that you remember
about your dreams.Be as specific as you can remember. You can always journal
later, adding more at another time, if you recall more. Write
down everything you remember - who was there, how you felt,
where you were, what you were doing or what was happening,
what you saw or what you didn't see and thought should have
been there. Writing down daily all the details and circumstances
you recall each time, about your dreams, will create a written
pattern of your thoughts and experiences while you slept.If you can't recall any dreams, write that in your journal.
You can also set the intention the night before that you will
remember what your dreams were. As you are trying to recall
them stay calm, breathe, and relax.Be sure to record any symbolism that you remember. For
example if you saw yourself in a forest, by the ocean or in the
middle of a busy intersection. To help translate the possible
information stored within your dreams, there are dream
interpretation books and websites that can define the meanings
and symbols attached to what you dreamt.Just like when you are awake, dreaming has lessons and
experiences to teach. Expressing through the valuable tool
of journaling allows you to further process and understand
your experience and what those lessons are.Doreene Clement, Cancer Victor™ and author of The 5 Year Journal, is currently writing a new book and movie, So Blessed, about her life and her cancer experience using only alternative medicine. 480.423.8095.
