keep a dream journal by your night stand- the minute you wake up write everything you remember down religiously. It will take ~2 weeks to begin lucid dreaming
i remember trying to do it before i did that for a month and i got nothing then one night i had a nightmare that i was having a lucid dream idk wtf was that so i just stopped
you have to catch a dream before you lose it to get started, but once you get into the habit of writing down your dreams and bodily awareness when you’re awake (pinching yourself to see if it’s real, for example - in a dream your fingers will pass right through the skin) you may gain better memory upon waking. lots of people say to write them in a physical journal, but i just have a notes app page going with several years worth of dreams. here are some silly ones from recently
It’s slow going at first but then it’s like channeling a cryptic, psychic version of yourself daily. Write down whatever nonsense you recall when you first open your eyes or it kinda leaks away. Listen to the beginners guide to dream interpretation by Clarissa pinkola Estes for a primer. Why not??!
as soon as you wake up. jot down everything you remember, try and describe it with as much detail as you can before it drifts away. you become more aware of how your subconscious works and it will be easier to revisit those spaces. you'll also become a better writer because it forces you to try and capture the uncapturable.
you just have to go through it. break ups are transformative but if you ever need help in the process, definitely ask for it. especially from ones who know you the best/you care for the most.
