Dream Journals
Dream journals are an excellent way to find inspiration when it comes to writing.
While we are in the land of dreams, anything is possible. We can come across a hundred-different tales involving our greatest fears and deepest desires, encountering innumerable characters and plots, because in dreams our imagination knows no bounds.
All of these monsters, villains, and superheroes that you come across while you are asleep can be incorporated as characters for your novels, poetry, and short stories. There have been many authors who have sought refuge in their dreams in order to get the right inspiration for their books. So, if you are a creative person, a dream journal may be a befitting way to get the right kind of stimulation.
What is a dream journal? A dream journal is mainly a written account of your dreams.
It is recommended that you keep your journal, along with pens or pencils close by your bed so that you can jot down notes and lists as soon as you wake up in the morning. The sooner the better, otherwise you risk forgetting the dream.
Different people remember and interpret their dream in different ways. Some people remember them very vividly, while others only recall bits and pieces of what they have dreamt.
Even if you cannot recall all the core details pertaining to a dream, these notes can still be a very useful resource. Jot everything you remember. The smallest details such as emotions and colors can help your dreams to take on a new shape. It will only take a few minutes to do. Then go ahead and try to think of a befitting title for what you wrote down to help get the creative juices flowing.
Think of it as a vault of ideas that you can inspect anytime you want. Why not put your dreams to good use by maintaining a dream journal?
If you are looking for a way to break writer’s block, dream exploration can be a great tool for cultivating new ideas.
Use your imagination, don’t worry about trying to follow the plot of your dreams precisely. Instead, focus on drawing inspiration from it. When it comes to writing, inspiration can come from a thousand different places. A journal can be a great tool to help you develop and remember ideas.
