down any detail you remember about the dream. This can be a quick sketch
of imagery and some words about what happened or what you saw or felt.
images, actions, colors, events..etc. Moreover, no need to illutrate
in detail yet, what is important at this point is memory of any particulars
of the dream. Do not delay, record you notes the moment you wake up,

have more time) revisit your sketch and notes. You will be surprised
how much you still recall about the dream. Do not wait until the next
day or the dream will fade:

your dream with more detail and write at least a half a page describing

to anyalze yourself or the dream. Just clearly report visually your
memory of the dream. You may use colored pencil if you recall colors
of the dream.

for at least SIX different dreams. You may use different dreams on the
same morning if you can recall them.
(4) Choose THREE of your
dreams to create a larger artwork/illustration depicting the dream.

and polish in Photoshop. Type a short synopsis for these three dreams.
