Recently I have experimented with tracking my dreams. I have been doing this by creating a database in Notion (where I take all my notes) and writing down everything I can remember about a certain dream as soon as I wake up, along with the main themes of the dream. So far, I have recorded 7 dreams, most of which are pretty strange, but I think doing this has several benefits.
- You can see the themes of what you dream about most often, which I believe tells you a lot about your current state of mind.
- It forces you to remember your dreams which I have found makes me more mindful and calmer about my thoughts
- It is an interesting historical record of what you used to dream about
Above is the database so far. Some dreams have been fun, some unpleasant and some just downright strange! However, I have enjoyed doing this so far and think I will continue doing it for as long as I find it useful.
