Keeping Track of Your Dreams
• Before fallingasleep, spend five minutes in relaxing
yourself and telling yourself that you have a
dream to remember at night. If there is a specific problem to which you want an answer, ask your
dreaming intelligence to give you a clue.
•
Keep a special notebook with a pen next to you just for your
dreams
and a bedside light or a torch which would be handy to note your
dreams
without disturbing others in the room.
• If you wake up from a
dream, lie still and let yourself
take a few moments to
relive the
dream as fully as possible.
• Then write down the
dream. Don't worry about grammar
or syntax, but try and
record the dream in as much detail as possible.
It may be a good practice to date your
dreams. The most important
feature of every
dream is the atmosphere; mood or feeling it leaves
in its wake. Make a note of these.
• Write down any associations you may have with the
dream
images—people, situations or objects in the
dream. Also
make a note of any significant event, conversation, or thought you may
have had the previous day. The more you pay attention to your
dreams
the more responsive they will be to you.
• If you can't
interpret your
dream, don't worry.
After some time read your record. You may find a
common thread
or pattern that will help you in
understanding your
dreams.
Many
dreams have
special significance. Either the images
or colors are very vivid, or the sense of beauty and
love is overwhelming.
These are the
dreams which the
dreamer will recall 20 years
later with as much vividness as when they occurred.
