    As Studies, help appreciated

    Hi everyone
    Basically I'm studying English this year at A level, for my coursework piece I've decided to do a dream journal entry, its supposed to be about 2000 words. We have to pick somewhere the coursework would be appropiate, so a magazine or something, obviously I've said this forum. The thing is, I need to give an example of a dream journal entry from the forum. The problem I tihnk I'm going to find is, most people journal their dreams in a very brief, almost bullet point format, I obviously have to use good english, decent vocab, and have it all flow like one piece. Is there anybody here that dream journals in that kind of way? Full paragrphs, almost in story/narrative way? If so could you link me up and maybe give me permisson to use your piece as an example?

    Thank You

    Imran

    I've done some pretty extensive dream recording - jump to the last couple pages for examples:

    Moonbeam has done some pretty detailed writeups too, but she uses terser form most of the time. Look for "Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream" to get you there.

    Good luck!

    Feel free to browse/quote mine as well. It's linked in my signature. I tend to write descriptively, and don't much care for incomplete sentences.

    Go ahead and check mine out, quote away. Also be sure to check out Oneironaut's DJ.
    There's an economic concept known as a positional good in which an object is only valued by the possessor because it's not possessed by others. The term was coined in 1976 by economist Fred Hirsch to replace the more colloquial, but less precise "neener-neener".
