dream diary

Nocturnal vision log

A dream diary is a journal kept beside one's bed to record dreams immediately upon waking, before memories fade.

The practice serves various purposes—from creative inspiration to psychological self-analysis to lucid dreaming training: I've kept a dream diary for years and notice recurring themes.

Also called a dream journal.
