This is the first step to being able to use your dreams the way you want, as in having lucid dreams and OBE's. You can't analyze what you cannot remember, makes sense, right?

Some people are put off by writing on paper, as we have become such a digital world. Not to worry... there is always this option.

Hmm, this is going to be hard to explain without a visual, so put your imagination caps on.

When you are thinking about the dream.. think of the main subject, object, etc.. that stands out the most. Say it was a spaceship.

Then write the word spaceship in the middle of a peice of paper, and circle it.

Then draw a straight line from the circle to another facet of your dream. Let's say, you saw the color green alot. So then you have "spaceship" circled, with a line going to the word, "green". Now circle that word.

Do this all the way around your original word of "spaceship".

Looking at your first circle of 'added' words coming off the spaceship word, you may start to get an idea, or see a theme.
You can use feelings as words also, it doesn't have to just be a noun.

Then once you have that outer circle around the spaceship word, begin to take each other circled word, and make a line from them, thinking of WHAT THAT WORD MEANS TO YOU PERSONALLY.

So, remember one of the words was green?
Ok, draw a line from the word green, and write a 'feeling' word of what green means to you.
Do this all the way around.
