Practical guide

The 5-minute dream journal

A simple morning ritual for remembering more and noticing patterns.

Before you sleep

Keep a notebook or notes app within reach. Set a gentle intention: “I will remember what matters.”

01

Stay still for a moment after waking.

02

Write the strongest image or emotion first.

03

Add people, places, colors and unusual details.

04

Give the dream a short title.

05

Ask: what in my life feels like this?

Review without forcing an answer

Look back once a week. Repeated places, emotions and choices often reveal more than a single dramatic symbol.
