Some life experiences, such as dreams, gain value when documented in writing, according to a report published by the Spanish newspaper "Eldiario" by Christian Vasquez.
The writer pointed out that every dream has a special meaning, and to reveal the secrets of dreams, its details must be written. According to Spanish psychologist Fernando Azur, dreams are a "nighttime representation of the endless fantasies, fears, longings and emotions that the mind regenerates during sleep, allowing for the realignment of facts and memories again."
Azur explains that this process allows "treatment" of events and daily memories, since when you dream for example of a specific problem and face it in real life several times, this is evidence that it is time to get rid of it until it gives way to new experiences, and learn more important things.
Self-knowledge tool
Azur says dream writing is a way to be more aware of the fears or delusions that are rooted in our minds, and in doing so we will be able to focus more on solving them.
It explains that the recurring content of dreams, with differences in the level of characters and contexts and the preservation of emotions themselves, gives us information about what we must prepare for or seek to solve. This shows that dreams are a good tool for self-knowledge, and on many occasions it provides us with valuable information on topics that we should pay attention to in everyday life.
But it is not always easy to evoke all the details because the memory of dreams is usually unstable, so we remember a small part of the total of what we dreamed of, while the process of evoking the dream is marred by confusion, confusion and forgetfulness for a few minutes. In many cases, dreams can only be remembered clearly during the first moments after waking up.
The writer stressed that the importance of writing dreams lies in not forgetting them, and even if remembering the details of the dream with difficulty is difficult, writing down what we have had feelings or emotions during which will help to remember them.
Psychologist Aurora Lopez admits that getting used to writing dreams would "stimulate the dream-keeping process" and be easy to remember.
For those who want to keep a memo of their dreams, the main advice is to try to jot down the content of your dreams once you wake up, so that the memory is as clear as possible.
Therefore it is recommended to put a notebook and pen beside the mattress or a mobile phone with an easy-to-use application for taking notes or for voice recording.
