How Dream Journaling Can Help You Manifest a Meaningful Life

Dream journaling has been around for a long time, and many people have tried it out for a little bit of entertainment.

But it is so much more than just something to do for fun…

When done correctly and consistently, dream journaling is one of the simplest ways to connect to your subconscious mind, to access the sacred, and to receive guidance about your waking life directly from your soul.

Many cultures — from the earliest shamans and Ancient Greek philosophers, to modern-day dream explorers — have known that dreaming is information coming at you straight from your soul.

And with the right tools for accessing, interpreting, and taking action on the “soul data” you receive from your dreams, you can unearth a deep wellspring of guidance and wisdom for manifesting your soul’s truest purpose.

This wellspring of soul wisdom is a more pure and potent source of guidance for manifestation than other tools. This is because common methods for manifesting such as visualization alone can be muddied by the desires and distractions of the ego.

In your dreams, your ego is asleep and therefore detached from what you are seeing and experiencing so that what you are left with is only the messages, wishes, and longings of your soul. Your mission is simply to interpret those messages and bring that wisdom to your life.

So how do you remember your dreams, interpret their messages, and bring that incredible soul wisdom from your sleeping dreams into your waking, daily life? It all starts with a dream journaling practice.

Before we get into the methods of having a dream journal practice, let’s look into the benefits of dream journaling and how it is one of the key ways to help you manifest a meaningful life.

The Benefits of Dream Journaling:

1. Remembering

Dream journaling can be very helpful for those who don’t remember their dreams (or remember only dream fragments). To help you remember, start by recording the feeling that you have when you wake, or any dream fragment, image, symbol, or color that comes to mind. Don’t give up! Once you start to remember your dreams, you can then begin to access your soul messages!

2. Clarity

Recording something by writing it down provides an opportunity to process the information from your dreams in a new way and brings more clarity to what you saw or experienced in those dreams.

3. Manifestation

As you start writing down your dreams, your soul’s secret messages and desires are likely to become more clear. Bringing those desires into your waking life allows you to become aligned with your truest purpose in the night and in the day, and that clarity will inevitably strengthen your ability to manifest those things in the world.

4. Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is the state where you are aware that you are dreaming. As you build your dreaming awareness by recording the symbols, imagery and memories of your dreams, your conscious mind begins to recognize the patterns that make up a dream vs that in your waking state.
When this happens, you can begin to bring your awareness to your dream, enabling you to ask important questions within your dreams, explore answers that come to you through symbols, guides and stories, and then apply them to your waking life.

Once you have gotten your dream journaling practice down, that is when the magic starts to emerge.

You may find that important things start manifesting in your life that you never expected or thought were too far away to achieve...

You may suddenly find yourself in a new project or letting go of something that is no longer serving you...

You may even start to see more of the patterns of your dreams begin to pop up synchronously in your life. Follow these synchronicities and continue to follow your intuition.

Dream journaling is just the beginning of a lifelong journey to manifesting a meaningful life through dreaming. Consistent practice of this vital tool coupled with other powerful shamanic dreamwork practices can open your world to an open-hearted, soul-connected place of flow and manifestation that you may have only imagined — dare I say it? — in your dreams...
