Your lucid dream training will start with keeping a dream journal and improving your dream recall. Your preparation for Learning Lucid Dreaming journal will help you discover what your dreams are like. The next step will be to use your collection of dreams to find peculiarities (dreamsigns) that appear often enough in your dreams to be reliable signposts of the dream state. Your list of dreamsigns will help you succeed with the lucid dream induction techniques presented in Chapters 3 and 4.

First, it is important that you focus your mind on learning the preliminary skills and background information required for becoming a lucid dreamer. You cannot write poetry until you learn the alphabet.

Your dream journal is a tool, and you are the only person who is going to read it. Describe the way images and characters look and sound and smell, and don’t forget to describe the way you felt in the dream – emotional reactions are important clues in the dream world. Record anything unusual, the kinds of things that would never occur in waking life: flying pigs, or the ability to breathe underwater, or enigmatic symbols. You also can sketch particular images in your journal. The drawing, like the writing, does not have to be fine art. It’s just a way for you to make an intuitive and memorable connection with an image that might help you attain lucidity in future dreams.

Put the date at the top of the page. Record your dream under the date, carrying over for as many pages as required. Leave a blank page following each dream description for exercises you will do later.

If you remember only a fragment of a dream, record it, no matter how unimportant it might seem at the time. And if you recall a whole dream, title your journal entry with a short, catchy title that captures the subject or mood of the dream.

“The Guardian of the Spring” or “Riot in the Classroom” are examples of good descriptive titles.
