Each morning, take a moment to write down what you remember from your dreams. Detail any sensations, emotions, and symbols that stood out, particularly the presence of rain, as it may carry specific meanings related to cleansing or emotional release.
Over time, you will notice patterns and themes emerging, providing clarity into your emotional state and intuitive responses. This practice not only enhances your dream recall but also deepens your self-awareness. Remember to date each entry, as this can help correlate your dreams with significant life events or emotions you experienced around those times, offering valuable insights into your personal journey.
