1. The crucial thing about writing down dreams is to remember not to switch on a strong light; otherwise your memory gets wiped just like a computer when you press the wrong key. I put a really dim bulb (a night light)into my bedroom bedside light, but someone told me recently that she doesn’t put on the light at all – she just writes and it comes out OK.
2. You need a pad of paper and a pencil placed exactly where you will be able to pick them up immediately. Just write. Don’t try and order anything, write as fast as you can so you don’t forget anything. (You will sometimes forget, but try not to worry about that. You will get lots of information from what you remember.)
3. Ask yourself, ‘what sense can I make of this?’ Think of the different things in the dream, maybe the sea, the white foam on top of the waves, or the shark. What meaning can you put onto them?
If you think all this is a load of tosh, that’s fine! Probably some of it is and I’m sure it’s healthy to keep our hum bag detectors fully functioning throughout our healing.
4. You might want to plan a strategy for those terrors that come in the night.
