It took practice at first for sure! I keep a notebook and pen next to my bed, so I can write them down immediately upon waking. (ETA I have a box full of spiral notebooks containing 4+ years of dreams.) Sometimes I write them down in the wee hours of the morning still mostly asleep and don't even remember writing them down and can hardly read my writing. But I've been a prolific dreamer my whole life, one of the reasons I chose this t is because her profile talked about "dream work". I never knew it was a "thing" before that, but always knew there must be something to dreams since mine have always been so real-seeming.

I type them up and then bring them with me to t, and give her a copy, and then I read them out loud loud slowly and we talk about them. I could go on and on about dream work. It's my favorite part of therapy.
