Keeping a Dream Diary
ОглавлениеMost dreams are forgotten in 10 minutes, so to remember them just run through the dream in your mind before you get up, then write it down straight away. Don’t worry about how you write it: sometimes you may want to draw what you saw – it is not an essay, it is a diary to help you interpret messages from your subconscious. Even if you didn’t dream, write down the first thoughts you had as this may trigger recall.
List everything, no matter how unimportant it may seem. Note the day and time and divide the paper into two – in one column write down or draw your dream, and in the other write your interpretation. The key is how you interpret your dreams and the symbolism within them. For instance, once you have written the dream down, pay attention not just to how you felt about the dream, but to the way you describe it, the references you make, the turns of phrase, and any memories it may trigger – they are all clues to the answer your dream is providing. You will get flashbacks to your dream throughout the day, note these as some will help solve problems or missing links.
If you work at unravelling your own dream symbols, you will eventually find that the images speak for themselves. In the majority of dream interpretation books you will find that there are links to typical emotional reactions. For example, teeth falling out in a dream indicates insecurity and in some books means that a part of your self is dying. Water relates to emotions, fire to anger or passion, and so on. Most dreams don’t fit neatly into categories – they are your own unique experience – but a good dream analysis book and some interesting dream imagery will keep you fascinated for a long time and will help in your personal psychic development.
