- Start by asking yourself what sparks your interest in exploring dreams and imagination.
- Next, get curious about this spark. Make a sketch or write a few lines about the nature of this spark.
- Take the day and notice how this imaginal spark reveals itself in your activities and emotions. Take field notes.
- Place these reflections next to your bed before going to sleep. Invite them to help incubate dreams.
- As dreams come forward (characters, feelings, landscapes, and/or activities), record these in your dream journal.
