• - "Flying is your most common symbol"
• "You dream about water when stressed"
• "Grandmother appears near her anniversary"
• "Third anxiety dream this week"

Capture Tips

• - Log immediately on waking — dreams fade fast
• Voice note if too groggy to type
• Any fragment is worth saving
• Note emotions, not just events

What To Track

• - Date and rough time
• Narrative (as much as remembered)
• Emotions felt during dream
• Symbols and recurring elements
• Possible waking life triggers

Progressive Enhancement

• - Start: capture dreams on waking
• Tag symbols and emotions
• Review weekly for patterns
• Track lucid dreaming attempts

What NOT To Do

• - Interpret too literally
• Force meaning on every dream
• Dismiss fragments as not worth logging
• Judge dream content
