Embracing the Butterfly: Practical Insights for Reflecting on Dreams
- Keep a Dream Journal
Start documenting your dreams regularly in a journal. When you write down your experiences, you build a connection with your subconscious thoughts. Describe the colors, feelings, and actions of your dreams, especially those involving butterflies.
