    Tips In Keeping A Diary Of Dreams

    A diary of dreams, also called a dream journal, is one which a dreamer uses to write down the highlights, if not full details, of a dream, or dreams. They are quite handy to have, helping dreamers recall their dreams by the time they wake up.

    A diary of dreams particularly comes essential to dream analysts or dream therapists, who aim to better understand the dream-scape of a client. An analyst's efforts would be greatly yield much better results with the aid of a diary of dreams from the client.

    Here are some tips in making the ideal diary of dreams.

    In maintaining a diary of dreams, it is suggested that one uses two notebooks, one for drafts, and another for final dream entries. The draft notebook could be put right next to a dreamer's bedside, and would be ideal for jotting down key points regarding the dream he/she just woken up with. The final diary of dreams would contain more detailed descriptions of the dream, if not more legibly readable handwriting.

    Before writing down anything on the draft diary of dream notebook, dreamers should take a few seconds in remembering the dream, how it started and how it ended, if it even did. Doing this "engraves" the dream into one's memory, making the writing down and the recalling process a smooth one.

    The act of remembering a dream could be quite troublesome to most. An ideal method of remembering would involve the initial recalling of a key point in the dream's plot. From establishing that key point, one could trace up, or trace down the flow of the dream, then forming an overall line of how the dream went about, how it began or how it even ended, if it did.

    Keeping a diary of dreams isn't simply exclusive for dream analysis purposes alone. Dreamers aiming for a lucid dream experience, also benefit from keeping a diary of dreams. A lucid dream experience is simply one, where the dreamer is aware he/she is dreaming.

    At times they have full control over how their dreams progress, as well as how their dreams end. The keeping of a diary of dreams, aid lucid dreamers in the sense that knowing their respective dream themes, would aid in letting them realize they are dreaming or not. After all, in order to control dreams, one must first know if he/she is dreaming or not.
