In the world of dream journaling, we can unlock the secrets of our subconscious minds. It may sound like a complicated process, but it’s actually as easy as counting sheep before bedtime.
We’ve all had those dreams that leave us questioning what the heck our brains were thinking of before bedtime. It could be funny, random, or the most terrifying dream. How did we end up being best friends with Beyoncé, or were we being pursued by an ex with a machete? Who knows!
But, here’s the thing. Every dream has a meaning behind it contrary to popular belief, and by keeping a dream journal, we can tap into the messages that our subconscious minds are trying to tell us.
First things first, we grab a notebook and pen, and place it next to your bed. Every morning when we wake up, we take a few moments to reflect on our dreams and write down any details that you can remember. Don’t worry if it seems random or doesn’t make sense at first – it’s all about making those connections later on, or telling your mum for an African interpretation. It might end up with severe fasting and praying, or even a trip to the prayer house but the choice is yours.
Now, for the fun part. You can get creative with it! We’ve heard about people making sketches of any symbols or objects that stood out to them, adding in adjectives to describe the scene and aura, or even making up a short story based on the dream. Remember, there are no rules in dream journaling – so we can let our imagination run wild.
As we continue to journal your dreams, we may start to notice patterns and recurring themes. Maybe you keep dreaming about your teeth falling out (don’t worry, it’s a common one), which could mean anxiety or insecurity. Or, perhaps you keep seeing a certain person or place, which could indicate a need for change or growth.
The best part of dream journaling is that it’s a personal journey – there’s no right or wrong answer. It’s all about exploring the depths of our own minds and learning more about ourselves. Plus, it’s a fun way to add some creativity into our daily routine. Who knows, we may even uncover some hidden talents or discover new passions along the way.
