Decorated Dream Journal

There is something nice about having a print journal.  Even if you prefer keeping your journal in digital form, you can always print out the pages and decorate them to create an artistic hard copy.  There are of course a plethora of ways someone could decorate a journal.  For my dream journal, I thought it would be neat to decorate the pages with symbols representing elements from my dream.

Materials:
*3 ring binder
*Sheet protectors
*Paper
*Computer and printer
*Markers or other decorative tools

Directions:
*Record your dreams in a word processing program on your computer.  Choose a font and color scheme that you find appealing
*Print pages from your dream journal
*Decorate the margins of the pages as you see fit
*Slide the pages into sheet protectors and secure the sheet protectors inside a 3 ring binder

Tips for remembering dreams:
*When you wake up from a dream, jot down some key elements from your dream.  I usually jot down only one or two words.  This will help you recall your dream when you write it down in the morning
*Write down your dream as soon as you get up in the morning.  The sooner you write down your dream, the better a chance you will have for remembering all of the details
