 There are many benefits to keeping a dream journal where you write your dreams down in the morning and sort of analyze them as you go on throughout the weeks. And I'm going to explain in this video some common benefits and reasons you might want to keep a dream journal if you're not already keeping one. So number one, you'll learn a bit more about yourself. And this is through the dreams. You can analyze them, learn about your dream signs. You can basically just get a better understanding about what you're dreaming about and maybe why you're dreaming about those types of things. Dreams are really important for your psychological and mental health and they can actually help you work through some issues as well. In terms of your psyche and what you're stressed about, what you're worried about, deep-seated traumas and things. And if you don't write these dreams down in a journal, then you'll never really be aware of them. You might even forget them after a day or two. So being able to write these things down and analyze them later is a really important tool. The third benefit of keeping a dream journal is it can increase your creativity by actually learning how to remember your dreams better. You'll be able to unlock this kind of new world in your dreams, this kind of new way of experiencing things where you can take experiences and ideas from a place where you normally would have no recollection of this thing. Normally you would forget these dreams and you just wouldn't be aware of them. If you write them down, then you can read those back later and you can get creative ideas from that. You can get inspired and motivated, whether you're trying to get ideas for a short story or whether you're just trying to get inspiration for some art or music you're creating. Even if you're just trying to answer a life advice question or you just can't decide on something, like which path to go in life or which decision to make, you can often get ideas and inspiration and guidance from a lucid dream. And if you write those dreams in a journal, it's a lot more likely that you can actually analyse them and use that information. Another benefit of journaling and writing your dreams down is that your emotional health can improve as well. It's been shown that if you just write your feelings and emotions down, even if it's just random thoughts and ideas that you have in your head, but specifically if it's about dreams and actually experiences that you've had, that can actually have a really positive impact on your emotional health and it can just make you feel better and more relaxed. So actually keeping a dream journal itself is very easy. You just need to keep a notepad by your bed, make sure you write your dreams down every morning. Don't forget, even if you can't remember any dreams, just write down no dreams recalled and then what you'll do is you'll train your subconscious mind to be able to remember more dreams over time. You don't have to use any special kind of notepad or pen and you can actually do this in your phone. Try to write down as much detail about the dream as you possibly can and if you remember things later on, you know, you might remember some details later on in the day or even the next day or even next week. So you need to make sure you write in double spaced lines so you leave a space after each line that you write and this will mean that you can go back later and add notes to it. You can add annotations, you can circle things and draw lines between it. And one final tip is that you really need to make sure, at some point, that you convert your dream journal into a digital version so you can search through it. This is a really powerful way of being able to search for dream signs because the alternative to that is that you would have to flick through potentially hundreds of pages of a dream journal just to find how often you've dreamed about a certain thing or how often you've had a certain thing appear in your dreams. If you can search through the dream journal by just typing the word, then that's going to save you a lot of time. Some other important ways to be able to remember more dreams is to try and think about taking a multivitamin and a vitamin B6 supplement. This has been shown to make it more likely that you'll remember your dreams. They'll be more vivid as well. What you can also do is just try it when you first wake up to keep your eyes closed for a while. This will actually let you be able to remember more dreams without the stimuli from the bedroom and from the waking world affecting your brain and basically making you forget everything you've just experienced.
