Keeping a Dream Journal

Using an integrative approach in the quest for individual wellness, I often use alternative and creative techniques to assist individuals in achieving their goals. One of those techniques is keeping a dream journal in which you write down a question at bedtime reflecting what it is you need clarification on.

Questions such as,

What type of job would I be best suited for?
Where are my strengths best utilized?
What foods might be the cause of certain allergies or mood swings?
What does my child need from me?
What do I need to let go of right now?

Then, in the morning, with your dream journal at hand, write down what you recall.Try to write immediately upon awakening. Often times, if you wait until after you start the day, you lose them. I generally encourage forming the question and letting a few days pass. See if your answer comes to you. I'll bet it does.

It may not be in the manner you think, and it may need some analyzing, but typically the answer is there in some form. It may present in the shape of a clue that develops into a clearer picture once several dreams or a pattern of dreams, are put together over time. Techniques such as recording dreams are meant to empower a person by tapping into one's own innate knowing. This knowing is embedded in the subconscious, patiently waiting to be revealed.

If there is something particular that you are waiting on or trying to understand or even change, try keeping a dream journal and see what comes....

Lastly, my Keeping It Simple Summer Series will begin next month, consisting of information on such topics as nutrition and supplements for our kids and eating, thinking, and behaving for great health. Thank you for reading.

Happy June - Happy Summer
