Thread: DreamJournal 2.6 - free program for recording dreams

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?

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.

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!

Edit: Ok... FAIL!
My net-book screen is not high enough to show the "New" button *headdesk*

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

Quite a small addition but maybe more setting options. For one to switch the date/month around.

Also a scroll bar to scroll through the dreams instead of using the menu to look for a specific date to find a dream (pertaining to old dreams that don't appear on the main window).

If we might be allowed to make suggestions for further edits and additions to the program here, I'd like to suggest that for the Goals tab, is it possible to add in a way to check the goal for completion, and have it ask on what day the goal was completed? Sometimes I don't log my dreams on my digital DJ from my handwritten one, so I don't get to check off each goal as I complete them right on the day I complete them, and have to delete the goal and recreate it with an already-achieved date inserted.

As you can tell, it's a very very minor thing, but it's probably the only suggestion I have for such a wonderful program. I use it for all my dream-related writings and organizing needs.

Any time soon? What language did you write the program in? Maybe If you give me the source code I could try to make a Mac version.

That is NOT going to happen. It's been debated before and BanHurt is still very insistant that he retains his source code. Just thought I'd let you know...

Too bad I just think using Wine or Crossover isn't very stable thats all.

For me it doesn't run with WINE at all, and with Mono it crashes often and after I used it for a week the database file was corrupted, and the backup didnt work either.

That's why I put my 2 thumbs up for a native Linux / Mac version. Please

Thank you very much for this nifty little tool. Perhaps in the future you could install a Mud Map, which I personally find very helpful for retracing steps in dreams that I otherwise wouldn't remember.

It would also be helpful to have a hilight option, similar to the ctrl+f command in Firefox, IE, and Word. If I want to find a part of a dream where Tony is, it could take me for ages to find that part if they were seen at the very end of the dream.

Again, thanks. This is going to keep my dream life that much more organised.

I'm also looking forward for a mac version. I can't seem to find a decent journaling program for it. The one i'm using atm doesn't even support tags...

Is there a way I could hold two DJs using this application because when I tried doing so, they became one and so I lost all of the dreams I had from one.

I'm not actually holding two DJs, just, if I stop writing in my DJ for one week, I restart completly but I still don't want to lose my previous dreams. I want to be able to look at them if I feel like it.

Thank you.
