The powers of attention learned in meditation, make the dream experiences more vivid and memorable.
Meditation opens you up to the deeper levels of the unconscious, from which the dreams arise.
If you wish to explore your dreams, keep a journal by your bedside and write down your dreams as soon as you are awake. This action tells your unconscious that you wish to take your dreams and their messages seriously and recall them each morning.
The recurring themes provide the most revealing information. The meaning of the symbols such as the common ones like a chair, a key etc may be obvious but others may be more puzzling.
Identify a strong or recurrent symbol and try to discover its meaning by writing down the words you associate with it in a circle around the symbol. Then see which word connects most closely with it. Ask your unconscious to be your guide.
