Its subject matter includes the behavior of humans and nonhumans,both conscious and unconscious phenomena,and mental processes such as thoughts,feelings,and motives.

Biological psychologists seek an understanding of the emergent properties of brains,linking the discipline to neuroscience. As social scientists,psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups.

Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of human mental functions and behavior. Occasionally,in addition or opposition to employing the scientific method,it also relies on symbolic interpretation and critical analysis,although these traditions have tended to be less pronounced than in other social sciences,such as sociology. Psychologists study phenomena such as perception,cognition,emotion,personality,behavior,and interpersonal relationships. Some,especially depth psychologists,also study the unconscious mind.
A dream diary is a diary in which dream experiences are recorded. A dream diary might include a record of nightly dreams,personal reflections and waking dream experiences. It is often used in the study of dreams and psychology. Dream diaries are also used by some people as a way to help induce lucid dreams,and are regarded as a useful tool in improving dream recall. The use of a dream diary was recommended by Ann Faraday in The Dream Game as an aid to memory and a way to preserve details,many of which are otherwise rapidly forgotten no matter how memorable the dream originally seemed. Keeping a dream diary conditions a person to view remembering dreams as important. Dreams can be recorded in a paper diary or via an audio recording device. Many websites offer the ability to create a digital dream diary.
