A lot of the time people will keep dream journals when they want to learn how to lucid dream. Lucid dreaming is when in a dream, the dreamer becomes aware that he or she is dreaming. Once this is recognized, the person can control the dream and what happens and the possibilities are limitless. A few times I have realized I was dreaming while I was still asleep and changed the outcome of my dream. I want to do this more often.
The best time to record a dream is right after you wake up. The longer you wait, the more details and memories of the dream slip away. Half the time I won't be able to do this because I have to get ready for my day as soon as I wake up. But when I get the chance to write down my dreams I will.
Keeping dreams in a journal can help a person find repeated imagery or events. Lucid dreamers can learn to recognize certain signs in a dream that alert them that they are dreaming. I'm also interested in dream meanings and interpretations. What a person dreams about has different meanings. I've learned from that book that dreams are rarely prophetic, but rather they are more often about the circumstances and feelings a person has in their life currently.
So I've only read a little bit about lucid dreaming from reading wikipedia and from talking to someone who practices this, but further research will be done.
