The only type of diary I have is a dream journal.

That sounds cool! Do you write down what you dreamt about in the morning, or am I picturing it wrong?

Stats are annoying! I'm glad I learned it in school, because it's useful to be able to listen to a podcast or something and understand what they're saying, but I'm glad to be done with the school work part of it.

If I remember the dream or at least parts of it. But I write it down immediately after waking up, I don't necessarily wait until the morning.

Contrary to popular belief I don't think there are universal dream symbols (except for some archetypes, like Carl Gustav Jung mentioned).
To a certain extent, we have our own individual dream symbolism. For example one person are afraid of spiders. Another person like spiders. If both persons dream about spiders, there could be different meanings. So the question is: What do you associate with the things you see in your dreams? But exploring your own symbolism will not work without a dream diary.

That sounds really cool! I can see why you'd be into it.

Thank you for sharing! I feel like I learned something new.

Aww, that's amazing, really. I heard that doing such things can be really good for your mental health.
I have a journal that I write in about once every month and started in January :P

@AtaraXio your conversation with @centen makes me want to start dream journaling, too!

I also journal, but it's just what goes on in my life. I think the answering questions thing sounds like a better idea tbh.

Never saw the value of it.

So no I haven't.

My experience has shown that you shouldn't wait until the morning for writing down your dreams. Put a sheet of paper on your bedside table. When you wake up at night after a dream, immediately write down the most important details using some keywords. What happened in your dream, are there specific details that attracted your attention in particular? What were your feelings during the dream? You can also use your phone and a voice memo app. You'll remember your dreams better in the morning and the dream diary will be more detailed.

When you 'work' with your dreams, there will be also a better connection to your subconscious during the day. For example you might remember things better, are more creative, learning might be easier. Things like that. A dream journal can be some form of therapy too. It's no replacement for a therapist, but it might be a very good addition.

Here are some tips how to start and you'll find many more informations online about that topic (for example at YouTube).

Try what works for you. But don't believe people that want you to believe that you need to buy any books or pay for any online courses. None of this commercial stuff is needed.
