Dreams don’t wait around. They slip through your fingers the moment you open your eyes, like steam rising from a hot cup of tea. One second you’re floating in another world, the next—poof—it’s gone. And here’s the truth: Neptune doesn’t send reminders.
That’s why the very first step to working with your dreams is simple but powerful: write it down.
Why Writing Matters
When you commit your dream to paper, you’re telling your subconscious: I value this. I’m listening. That tiny action opens the doorway for even more dreams and deeper messages to come through. Ignore them, and your dream world grows quieter. Record them, and the floodgates open.
Quick Ways to Catch Your Dreams
✨ Keep your journal by the bed. Don’t even reach for your phone yet.
✨ Write in fragments. Even a single word—“snake,” “basement,” “old crush”—can unlock the whole dream later.
✨ Use voice notes. If you’re too sleepy to write, whisper it into your phone and transfer later.
The key? Don’t wait until later. Later never comes.
Ritualizing the Practice
Make it sacred. Place your dream journal, a pen you love, and maybe even a crystal or candle by your bed. Let your dream-self know you’re serious. When you wake, write before the world crowds in.
This is the heartbeat of dream work. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence.
✍🏾 Your Turn
What did you dream last night? Before you scroll, before you start the day, write it down. Even if it feels random or nonsensical, trust that your soul is speaking in its own language.
🌙 A Note from Me
This is exactly why I created my dream journal, Third Eye Open: The Dream Journal. It’s designed to guide you in remembering, recording, and reflecting on your dream world—not just once, but as a weekly ritual.
🌀 The journal is currently in review for publishing. As soon as it’s released, I’ll update this blog with the link. If you’ve been looking for a way to make dream journaling a consistent practice, this is for you.
