Why keep a dream journal?
Dream memories often fade within minutes. Writing down even one scene, feeling or sentence gives the memory somewhere to remain.
Over time, your entries can reveal recurring people, places, symbols and emotions.
What should you record?
Begin with facts: where you were, who was present, what happened and how the dream ended. Then add colours, sensations and words.
A fragment is enough. Your journal does not need to be complete or beautifully written.
