If you can you should certainly keep a Dream journal. A journal will let you track your dreams and also helps you to experience Lucid Dreams more frequently.

A dream journal is possibly one of the best, and easiest, tools that you can use to elicit Lucid Dream states. When you wake up each morning, try to write down the dreams that you just had. In addition to the story line of your dream, try to record how it made you feel and what you though about the dream. Try to record as much information as you can. You never know what tiny point will be significant to expanding your Lucid Dreaming experiences.

By keeping a daily dream journal you will find that you become better at remembering your dreams. You will also become better at understanding your feelings that the dreams elicit in you. Keep your dream journal next to you at all times when you sleep. You never know when you may awake in the middle of the night, after just having a dream that simply must be recorded.

After you have been keeping a dream journal for a while you will begin to notice trends within your dreams. Use these trends as signs or signals to help you enter into Lucid Dream states.

You may also want to get a dream book to help you identify some of the symbolism that arises within your dreams, but that is a topic for another day.

Just remember to record your dreams. Use Lucid Dreaming and Dream journaling to make sleeping into a pleasurable experience and have some fun with it.
