dream journaling
Recording nocturnal visions
Dream journaling is the practice of recording dreams upon waking, typically in a dedicated notebook or app.
The aim is to capture details before they fade from memory.
People keep dream journals for self-reflection, creative inspiration, or to develop lucid dreaming skills: I started dream journaling and now I remember three or four dreams a night.
