I want to talk a bit about the benefits of journaling our dreams.

Journaling is very therapeutic, whether it be with dreams or in the waking state. When we journal our dreams we bring them out of our thoughts and into life. We actually give life to our dreams through journaling. This will increase your ability to remember dreams. This serves two purposes, it teaches us, and trains our brains to remember and to remember more.

It also transfers the dream from our subconscious to our conscious. Our life's desires live within our dreams. So, our Dreams are in our Dreams. Often we will push our desires or dreams back because of fear. This could be from fear of change, or it could be fear of having to work to get what we want. Fear of having to come face to face with our issues and making changes.

Journal your dreams and you will notice a natural process, a process that better enables us to bring our dreams to life. Simply acknowledging an area of your life that needs work, will enable you to reactively or naturally begin that work.

Writing your dreams on paper makes us 'look at them'. While journaling it is impossible to push back, you bring it out. You may choose to close your eyes to your dreams, but once you begin to journal you will clearly see areas of you life that need attention.

Many of our answers are in our dreams. We are giving great confirmations by the interpretations of our dreams. Often this confirmation helps to give us the courage we need to work in certain areas. It is actually through working with our dreams that we better remember them. Journaling is just the first step.

If putting a notebook and a pen by your bed doesn't work for you then that is fine, simply have a small voice activated recorder and talk into the recorder if a dream wakes you. Just don't stop there. That is fine for remembering the dream, but in order to train the brain, you must take that next step and jot it down.

I also want to say, dreams are very important and it is important that we work with them. Only through really working with them, are we able to benefit from them, even if you only remember a fragment of the dream, you would be surprised at the information that comes from that.

So if you do only remember a fragment, treat it the same as you would an entire dream. Write it down and work with it. You will find that you do begin to remember more and more. Just working with the fragment will often bring more to the forefront.

I really want to emphasize how important it is to embrace all your dreams....even if they seem "bad" they aren't.

 

If everyone will think about this... most of the events in our dreams are actions. Very rarely are there spoken words, and when there are....they are very important. That is a part of the dream you really need to focus on.
