The Dream Shadow Journal

Some people wake from the same anxious dream every week, being late, falling, or sitting an exam they haven't revised for, and wonder whether it means anything. This journal is for recording those dreams and noticing what repeats.

Each day has a page to note the date, setting, people, feelings and symbols, with four short questions, the last of which is the useful one: how does the dream relate to your waking life?

What's inside

• An introduction to dream journalling and the idea of a shadow side
• Common dream patterns, and possible meanings for seventeen symbols, from teeth and falling to exams and being late
• Eight tips for remembering your dreams
• Thirty daily recording pages, in four weeks plus two bonus days
• A ten-question weekly review at the end of each week
• Twenty-five further prompts

The weekly review is the best part. Patterns across a month say more than any single dream.

Two cautions. The symbol meanings are folk interpretation, and the journal itself says they vary from person to person, so treat them as prompts to think, not answers. And if your dreams are frequent nightmares, or replay something distressing, this journal is not a substitute for professional support; please talk to your GP.
