Dream Journal

Dream Journal

In many ancient and Indigenous cultures, dreams were understood to be active agents, conveying information important to both the individual and the collective, and a fountain of trans-personal awareness. When we begin to track and study our dreams, we open a new portal of awareness into our lives. A dream journal is a journal where you record dreams of significance. This helps you coax them out of the dream world and into waking life so that you can incorporate their learnings.

Keep a dream journal by your bed. If you are practicing dream recall, train yourself to wake up without moving. Often we lose contact with dreams the moment our bodies change position. Train yourself to awaken and remain still, staying in touch with the liminal tissue of the dream world. Walk yourself back through the dreams, now that you are awake, remembering significant details. Then open your journal and write them down, first thing.
