dream journal

Nocturnal vision log

A dream journal is a notebook or document where someone records their dreams upon waking.

The practice aims to improve dream recall, identify recurring themes, or support lucid dreaming.

Some keep dream journals for self-analysis or creative inspiration: I've kept a dream journal for years and notice patterns I'd otherwise forget.
