Dream Diary
Self-knowledge practice in the New Psychology of DREVO
In New Psychology DREVO, sleep is viewed as a natural part of human life, during which the body recovers and the brain continues to process experiences.
Dreams can reflect experiences, memories, emotions, creative ideas and images that arise from the work of the brain.
For some people, they also become a source of personal symbols and reflections.
A dream diary helps you not only predict the future, but also better understand yourself.
What is a Dream Diary?
A dream journal is the practice of regularly recording and analyzing dreams, allowing one to observe recurring images, emotional states, and changes in one's inner world.
The main goal of the diary is to develop self-observation.
Not a search for mystical predictions.
Why is it important to write down your dreams?
Dreams are quickly forgotten.
By writing down your dream immediately after waking up, you can preserve details that will disappear from your memory within minutes.
- Over time, the recordings begin to reveal patterns.
- Some themes are repeated.
- Some images change.
Some experiences are reflected in dreams even before a person becomes aware of them in everyday life.
How to keep a Dream Diary?
After waking up, try to immediately write down:
- date;
- wake-up time;
- dream content;
- participants in the dream;
- place of action;
- main events;
- your feelings in a dream;
- feelings after waking up.
Don't try to immediately explain what you saw.
First, save it as accurately as possible.
Sleep analysis
- After some time, ask yourself questions.
- What feelings did this dream evoke?
- What in my life resembles events in a dream?
- Does this image repeat itself?
- Is there a connection with recent events?
- Did a new perspective on the problem emerge in the dream?
In New Psychology DREVO, the meaning of a dream is sought primarily in a person’s personal experience.
The same symbol can have different meanings for different people.
Dreams and the psyche
Modern science offers different explanations for the functions of sleep and dreams.
It is believed that during sleep the brain is involved in processing information, consolidating memory, emotional adaptation and creative search for solutions.
Many questions about the nature of dreams remain the subject of research.
Therefore, the New Psychology DREVO does not consider dreams as absolute predictions or a source of objective knowledge about the future.
Dreams and Creativity
- Sometimes ideas are born in dreams.
- Music.
- Paintings.
- Scientific hypotheses.
- Engineering solutions.
Therefore, along with the description of the dream, it is useful to write down all the thoughts and inspiration that arose after waking up.
Some of them may be valuable.
Dreams and Personality Development
Gradually the diary helps you notice:
- recurring fears;
- internal conflicts;
- changes in emotional state;
- new stages of life;
- creativity;
- change of worldview.
In this way, a person better understands his own psyche.
Practice of the month
- Reread the entries once a month.
- Please note:
- What symbols are most common?
- What emotions are repeated?
- Has the nature of your dreams changed?
- Have any new ideas emerged?
This overview helps to see internal processes that are difficult to notice in one day.
The main principle
- Sleep is not a separate life.
- It is a continuation of human life.
- Understanding one's dreams does not give a person ready-made answer.
- He gets the opportunity to better understand himself.
Definition
A dream journal is a practice of observing, recording, and understanding dreams, aimed at developing self-knowledge, understanding emotional processes, creative thinking, and the inner world of a person.
In DREVO's New Psychology, a dream diary is viewed as a tool for exploring the psyche and personal experience. It helps one notice patterns reflecting experiences, personality changes, and processes of internal development, without replacing scientific analysis with mystical explanations.
Just as daylight helps us see the outside world, paying attention to our dreams can help us better understand the inner world.
A diary of desires as a way to shape reality
The practice of conscious programming of the future in the New Psychology of DREVO
In the New Psychology of DREVO, the Wish Diary is viewed not as a magical way to fulfill desires, but as a tool for shaping personality, thinking, and behavior that increases the likelihood of achieving what you want.
What a person regularly focuses on gradually begins to influence his decisions, habits and actions.
- It's not just the thinking that changes.
- The person himself changes.
- And along with it, the reality surrounding it begins to change.
Why is writing before bed especially important?
Before sleep, the brain gradually switches from actively processing external information to internal processing of experience.
The last thoughts of the day often become part of the processes of memory, emotional processing, and planning of future actions.
Therefore, the evening is a good time to calmly reflect on your goals and desires.
Regular practice helps keep your focus on the long-term direction of development.
The main principle
- Consciousness shapes choice.
- Choice shapes actions.
- Actions form habits.
- Habits shape character.
- Character gradually shapes a person's life reality.
- Therefore, a person changes his life first of all by changing himself.
How to write down wishes correctly?
In the New Psychology DREVO, it is recommended to write down your desires as if they have already become a part of your life.
Not because the recording automatically creates reality.
Because this method helps the consciousness to more clearly imagine the desired state and see the path to it.
- For example:
- I created a friendly and loving family.
- I am developing a project that is useful for society.
- I am healthy, energetic and strengthen my body daily.
- I speak English fluently.
Such formulations create an internal image of the future, towards which a person begins to gradually move.
Desire must correspond to values
- Not every desire contributes to development.
- Before recording, it is useful to ask yourself:
- Does this align with my values?
- Will this benefit me and others?
- Will I be happy with this in ten years?
- Does this help reveal my personality?
The deeper a desire is connected to development, the more it becomes part of the life path.
After recordings - action
A wish journal is not a substitute for action.
It helps to determine the direction.
After each wish, it is useful to write down one specific step that can be taken tomorrow.
- For example:
- Desire:I created a successful educational platform.
- Tomorrow:Write an outline for the first chapter.
- It is actions that turn desire into reality.
Gratitude
After writing down your wishes, it is helpful to end the day with gratitude.
Write down three things you are grateful for today.
This helps to see not only the future, but also the value of the present.
- A person develops simultaneously in two directions:
- creates the future;
- and notices the richness of the present.
DREVO practice
Every evening:
- Relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
- Write down 3-10 desires in the present tense and in a positive form.
- Make sure they align with your values.
- Write down one small step for tomorrow.
- Give thanks to life for today.
- Go to bed with a sense of calm, not expectation of a miracle.
This is how the habit of living consciously and moving in the chosen direction is gradually formed.
The main principle
Man creates his reality not by the power of thought itself.
He creates it through thoughts, which become decisions, decisions become actions, actions become habits, and habits gradually change his life.
A wish diary helps you direct this process consciously.
Definition
A vision journal is a practice of consciously recording your desired future, allowing you to formulate a clear direction for your development, strengthen your motivation, align your goals with your values, and transform your inner aspirations into consistent actions.
In the New Psychology of DREVO, writing down one's desires before bed is seen as a way to tune one's consciousness to long-term development. It helps one see one's goals more clearly, recognize new opportunities, and make daily choices that bring one closer to their desired future.
First, a person creates an image of the future in their mind. Then this image begins to guide their actions. And it is these actions that gradually create a new reality.
Meditation as autogenic training
Meditation in the New Psychology of DREVO
In the New Psychology DREVO, meditation is viewed as a method of conscious self-regulation of the psyche, attention, and state of the body.
Her goal is not to “escape reality,” but to learn to better manage herself.
Meditation helps calm the flow of thoughts, reduce internal tension, restore attention and strengthen the ability to consciously choose your reactions.
In its essence, it is close to autogenic training - a system of psychophysiological self-regulation based on relaxation, concentration and internal attitudes.
What is meditation?
Meditation is a practice of consciously managing attention, breathing, body state, and internal dialogue, aimed at restoring mental balance, developing awareness, and strengthening a person’s ability to manage themselves.
