Up: [[Dreams]] Created: 2025-10-26 I wake myself up to write or to record the dream as a voice memo on my phone. It almost never works for me to say to myself that I’m going to remember the dream. Waking myself up isn’t always successful either. I’m learning to have faith that the message of the dream will come back, in different forms, on different nights, until I get it! I try to write the dream whether it means anything or not, whether I want to or not. Sometimes it’s a challenge, but I try to not let ego run the show. And I’ve learned that respecting the dream by writing it down is what encourages dreams to be recalled by me more easily. I date the dream. If it’s before midnight, I show that. If not, the date is for the next day because the dream happened in the early hours of that next day. I write the context, what’s happening in my life. The context is often from the day before. Only sometimes will it be broader than that. Context really is making associations from my life or from what’s happening in the world. See [[Dream Context Matters]]. I sometimes have to be careful not to edit myself when I’m writing a dream. But I try my best to let it all in. That’s part of what it means to [[Accept Reality]]!
