Thread: Mapping Your Dreams?

no, you must be crazy! i get deja vu alot but never have i had experiences resembling yours

Yea I can occasionly remember exactly how the landscape of a dream was and sometimes i draw little maps in my DJ. Not sure I've got the same kind of 3D recall you seem to have though.

Hm. It's weird. Now that I've been keeping a dream journal, I can pretty much map my dreams out every single night. I've actually been doing so in my long-hand dream journal. I guess it's kinda neat.

Hmmm... I had a similar experience when I dreamt I was on a cruise ship (which I've never been) and I don't remember certain areas but I have an idea of them via a mental arial view of the floor plan of the boat.. Strange.

This is SUCH a cool idea, Diego. Seriosuly, when I'm indoors in my dreams, I can recall floorplans almost. From now on I'm going to draw maps of what the rooms look like if I can remember it. Thanks!

Sometimes this happens to me.

Like last night, I got a mental image of the layout of the hotel I was in, since I was trying desperately to find my room.

Lucky me, I couldn't find my room anyway but I ended up staying with some hot guy, which is always a plus!

I actually tried to make a large scale map of all my dreams, starting in my hometown. I would start with one dream, then try to remember any dreams of the neighbouring areas. It was suprisingly easy to remember them that way.

But as my map fleshed out, there were problems with scale, some places I would dream about existed in multiple locations, and things didn't always lead to the same place. This lead to a layered map with parallel dream worlds existing one on top of the other, and bleeding into one another. It quickly became too comples to keep track of on paper, and I've been unable to find a mapping program that meet the needs of my dream map.

Another method of dream mapping that resulted from this was that as I was trying to remember dreams of the area I was mapping, I would remember other dreams that while not geographically relevant to the area I was mapping, still somehow seemed related dream I started with. In fact I could remember those other dreams very clearly every time I focused on the first dream I was using. Focusing on those new dreams yeilded other related dreams, and on and on it went. Or goes, I'm still trying to map them all out.
