The PDF has 15 pages and comes in US Letter, giving Half Letter pages (5.5 x 8.5 in), and A4, giving A5 pages (148 x 210 mm).

How the dream journal booklet helps you remember and understand your dreams

Each dream gets a whole page in one of the twelve full log pages. Note when you fell asleep, when you woke and how long you slept, then give the dream a title and use ten lines to describe it. A small frame lets you draw a scene, and you can mark feelings and tags, list the people, places and symbols, rate how clear it felt from hazy to sharp and jot what it might relate to in waking life.

Busy mornings get shorter entries: six quick slots, each with the date, a name for the dream, a few lines and six tags. A recall tracker for 31 nights, three cards for dreams that return, a personal symbol dictionary and a page for dream people and places with a tally of themes help patterns stand out. Sleep notes and a review of the month close the book, so a new copy can start each month.

• Printed colors can vary a little from what your screen shows.
• Personal use only. Please do not share, resell or hand on the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file refuses to open or print properly, email us and we will help quickly.

• Every printer aligns the back of a sheet a little differently, so run the first sheet on plain paper as a test before printing the full booklet.
