I'm also seriously writing in my journal a lot. I think it's helping me with my thoughts and maybe it will help clear my mind to help me sleep better. Sometimes I have insomnia where I'm thinking like crazy and can't get to sleep. I also meditated a little bit but I'm going to work on it more.
Nice, oneiroer! Your cross sounds like it'll make an excellent symbol to remind you of dreaming.

B6 is good stuff, at least for me! I'd recommend spacing it out and keeping dosages modest -- a little bit goes a long way and some people seem to grow a bit tolerant when they supplement with B6 too frequently. Personally, I like to combine it with apple juice pre-bed. (Just be sure to brush those teeth if you drink juice! ) FWIW, my longest, most vivid dream of all time came after I took some pre-bed B6.

The journal sounds perfect for you. As you mentioned, clearing the mind is very important. And the habits you are building by forcing your mind to recall your day should help train your dream recall.
