there were 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 you know in times 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 to a 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 analyze
them and use that information another benefit of journaling and writing the drinks 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 get 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 were called 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 and you can actually do this on your phone trying 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 line so you so you leave a space after each line that you write and
this will mean that you can go back to 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 for
that is that you have to flick through potentially hundreds of pages of a dream journal just to find
how often you've dreamt 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 they're not 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
