Dreaming Your Dream Journal

[akukei]

So, like i'm sure many of you here do - i have a dream journal which i record in every night. Nearly every night, after many of my dreams (particularrly those early on in the night) I wake up slightly, drift back to sleep and dream about recording my previous dream in my dream journal.

So - do other people experience this fustration? Where upon waking you can remember writing about a dream but not having it? Or do you simply record what you remember and be done with it? Also - is it worth recording writing your dream (in dreamstate) as a dream in your dreamjournal?

I've done this a couple of times too. I don't find it furstrating though, just very amusing :D

Yes, this is very common with most including me. My first lucid dream consisted of first having a lucid dream, then slipping into a normal dream where I was trying to write down my lucid dream.

I have had at least 10-15 dreams that I have either wrote or read in my dream journal. It is very frustrating when you wake up. So try to always do a RC when writing in your journal. I guess it could be a dream sign. Speaking of dream signs, the reason you have a journal is to remember your dreams in the morning and recognize dream signs. So writing them in your dream is not good at all. I have tried to remember dreams after I wrote them in my dreams and I can't.

Hope this helps. See ya!

This has happened to me many times.

It has happened to me too many times. Iremember being at bed, getting the DJ and beggin to write. Really I can't remember see how I write, only my and movement. Once I get up and later in the morning I get my DJ to read my last dream because I couldn't remember exactly what I dreamed and for my surprise... I didn't wrote anything!! :content:

Even once I wrote in my DJ, got up to have breakfast and when I was in the kitchen suddenly I felt strange, run to see my DJ and instead of text there were lots of music scores and... I woke up (this time really :bigteeth: )

Glad to see I'm not the only one! :-)
I dreamt I wrote in my dream journal the first day I decided to start recording my dreams. I soon woke up and wrote down my dream about writing down my dream. Confusing, no? LOL. Like a play within a play.

That doens't happen to me, because usually I only record my dreams every four days, so I have a lot to catch up on (because I'm lazy) and it's not during the morning.

This happens to me in false awakenings after lucid dreams.

Must be a common thing to happen; I do it too. Usually within an FA.

Something strange happened to me like that, some years ago before I found about LD. It was the other way around... It was just a dream, of me being in school. I remembered it like many useless things. The exactly same thing happened a few weeks later, the only difference was that I wasn't dreaming.

I've done this before. I usually write about the dreams I'd had earlier that night. And when I wake up the next day the dreams I 'dream logged' are the first I remember and the most vivid.

So far it's helped with recall.

after a while a few missed entries won't do you much harm, i would imagine. i'd find it kind of funny. if it kept happening though im sure id get annoyed

Yea me too. I really remember the ones I think I've gotten up and written down two or three times. It happened again this morning, I realized it was an FA because my nitelite didn't work, and I thought, I better get up for real and write these down. Then I was mad I didn't use it to become lucid, instead of thinking I had to get up that minute and write in my DJ.
