Ready to submit a dream? That's exciting! The first step is to write out your dream narrative. Below are some tips to help get as much as you can out of the process:
- Be as detailed as possible. Words like "bad", "good", "weird", etc. are fine, but we'll find more meaning if we get to the root of that descriptor. What makes it bad, good, or weird?
- Include your personal associations with symbols wherever possible. For example, if your friend appears, describe the first quality you associate with them. If a number appears, think of where you've seen this number before. Don't overthink it though -- if nothing comes to mind, that's okay!
- Try not to censor yourself. We all feel a little silly when we share our unconscious thoughts, but dream analysis is best when it's not filtered too much by our conscious mind.
