Thread: DreamJournal 2.6 - free program for recording dreams

So the online features only shows how many dreams you have? I thought it was some kind of chat system "goes offline"
At least now I'm sure I wasn't too silly to use it <.<

I think I broke it! I keep getting this silly error message when I try to tag my dream.

Does it happen always when you click this button? Can you PM me 'Details'?

It was happening all last night when I tried to access the Tags. The first time it gave me the error message then after that it just didn't load my tags anymore. After I restarted this morning it seems to be working just fine, at least for now. Banhurt cured it telepathically!!

I organize all of my dreams with just this program!
What I do when I wake up and recall a dream:
- Go through it mentally
and then later on that same day, when there's enough time I use the program to type it out! It's good that it's password-secured too.

Thanks for the great program!

Any chance of a linux version, so I can run this program on my Arch Linux machine ? What toolkit are you using for the program?

I think you can run it on linux using mono. Try it out.

Nice - it really works with Mono, although it looks creepy but better than nothing. Thanks for the tip!

here is a screenshot



P.S. I will add the program to the Arch User Repository if you don't mind

I cant get the program to work!
I have filled in the right numbers under Settings-->Publishing but when i try to publish i just come to an empty 'Reply to thread'-page. What am I doing wrong?

And suddenly it works!

Agree. This would be a nice feature

I think that a dream comment is just good enough in blue. I mean, its yourself in the dream commenting on the dream or whatever. If you write down what you say in the dream in 'blue' why not what you think? Not only actions can be written down.

hmm, that's quite a good point, maybe I'll do try that in my next dream journal entry and look how it results

I personally see a large enough difference myself, but whatever.

I played with the template and managed to make "non-dream" say "Dream Scene" when you publish it. I never used the original non-dream anyway, as I could just comment on the dream when I went to publish it. Never wrote down my technique that I used, as it is basically the same thing every night. I'm actually using this feature, now. ^_^

Unfortunately it crashes often for me It's always got to do something with the tags. This crash happened when I was creating a Tag through the "Tags" tab and hit save:

When I assign a dream to a tag and choose to save changes, I get this one:

I can reproduce this almost every time Any ideas?

Wow! I tried a lot of DreamDiary software the last days, but this really is my favorite of all.

It's just awesome. Even the German LucidDreaming community is happy with it.

Thx for it!


Greeting from Germany,
Matthias.

I've lost my DJ.


For some reason my DJ got reseted. completly. I tried to open the backup and it also got wiped out. I'll be alright I have quite a few dreams on here so I might be able to save the biggest part of it, but I lost all my fragments and all. So guys DON'T DOWNLOAD IT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT! WAIT FOR THE UPDATE ALERT!

This is a great release BTW.

Yeah all my old entries were deleted ;_; I don't really care though.

Not really. I'm considering releasing a special version for Linux and Mac in the future, though.

This. Though you should try restoring the backup file again, it can't be corrupted. The good news is DreamJournal 2.5 doesn't damage 2.6 files so it's not going to happen again in the future.

Great! Hopefully without .NET. If you are looking for a good framework, I can recommend QT to you ( http://qt.nokia.com /)

Is there any chance I can get it to work on Linux Ubuntu?

Yes, it's quite easy actually. Just install mono through the Synaptic package manager. Then Right Click DreamJournal.exe, select open with another application, and under "custom command" enter mono.

However it crashes often for me, I'm not sure, but I guess it's related with mono, that's why a native Linux / Mac version would be great.

I did it!
Thank you so much!

Speaking of which, do you still have a link where I can download the previous
version? I'm still a bit somewhat paranoid about the new one.

You can move the window up with Alt + MouseClick so you can see the new button
