Dreams are best recalled if recorded as soon as possible after awakening. A note pad and pen beside your bed will enable you to do so before the day's routine begins. Even if you recall only one image, by attending to it, you will very likely begin to recall more of the dream. Be sure to note and describe
in as much detail as possible:
Place: ........Indoor/outdoor; familiar/strange; large/small.
Time: ........Day/night; season; past/present/future.
Action:...... What is going on? are you the main character? a participant? an observer? what are you doing? what are others doing?
People:...... How many? family/friends/strangers? old/young? awake/asleep? visible/only sensed?
Particularly note:
- any feelings you have - happiness, fear, anger, hope.
- any sound, touch, smell, taste or other sensation you experienced in the dream.
- any particularly detailed object or person.
- any larger-than-life object or person.
- any person/thing with particularly vivid colouring.
- any person/thing brighter than the surroundings.
About you:
- At what stage of life are you - youth, young adult, middle life, young senior, senior senior?
- What is your gender?
- What issues are you aware of in your current personal/public /professional life that might be seeking expression in your dream?
- What is the overall feeling your dream leaves you with - excitement? dread? grief? energy? fear? or?
- What is your own sense of your dream's meaning?
"I can never decide
whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts,
or my thoughts are the result
of my dreams."
