- Recurring small dreams reveal bigger direction.
- A dream wall is a living document, not a one-time list.

Common mistakes
Dreams need to be realistic from the start.
Feasibility can be assessed later, after honest capture.
Only big dreams count.
Small, specific dreams matter too and often reveal clearer patterns.
A dream wall is static.
It should be revisited and added to over time.
Reflection questions
- What dream have you never told anyone?
- What did you want before you learned to want "reasonable" things?
- Which dream keeps returning no matter how many times you dismiss it?
- What would you add to your dream wall if judgment were impossible?
