First Day

I read a few pages last night, it was mostly about dreaming, which is something I know a little about. The first thing we are asked to do is to begin to keep a dream journal, which I already do, and to begin a ritual journal which is new to me. Apparently, we're going to be asked to do certain rituals and we're supposed to keep track of how we are feeling at that moment, what the weather is like, and the phase of the moon, in order to find the most optimal combination for us. 

The first "ritual" is a simple meditation for relaxation that has you visualizing a ball of light traveling from our feet to our head. I did it, but I haven't created the ritual template for the journal yet, so I haven't begun the ritual journal yet.  I plan to create this journal electronically so I can search through it and come up with stats for it.  I did, however, journal the dream I had last night which was about taking an astrology test.

Even though I have studied quite a bit about dreaming and dream work, the book did offer new information. Particularly, a mnemonic for remembering a dream that we've had in the middle of the night, when one doesn't want to turn on lights to write in a journal.
