I used a 1.5 inch binder and I store all my dreams and thoughts (about the dreams) in it. I've just stored 5 days information and It seems like a lot. I have the impression I am going to get rid of some dreams in a while (in a big while, but shorter than I thought)
Do you guys also have the same problem? What should I do? Should I just keep my most interresting/favorite ones and get rid of the other ones? Or should I put the older ones in a pile somewhere else?
Well, my "THOUGHT"
on getting rid of dreams you dun like, is a bad idea.
I read a post somwhere in this forums to accept all dreams
It can be tiring >.>
but always push yourself if you want to speed the process of remebering more dreams
The more dreams you remember, the more lucid dreams you will recognize you can have in a night
Its my OPINION or whatever >.>
So please dun send me hate messages T.T
I would defiantly keep all of your dreams. More DJ entries allows you to see more patterns, and you can identify more dream signs than with only the newer dreams...perhaps you will notice long-term patterns that you otherwise would have missed!
When the binder gets full, put the old entries somewhere else for safekeeping. Or put them on a word document (that's good, too). Assuming you are using 8"x11" paper, how many pages are you using per day?
Touche' Abra, transferring material documents onto a virtual storage device at some point in time is a fantastic idea. That is of course if you have the means to do so, but since your using the internet I am guessing you do.Quote:

You can go through volumes of note dream journals, but KEEP them.
The point is to use is to put the noted dreams in an online journal so you can think later and try to remember better.
Often you just have time to write dot points when you awaken, and in your case so much info/dreams, but upon reading these later you can extrapolate the fuller picture and see repetative dream signs to use.
You can also cut and paste in seconds the online journal entires into a big Wordpad/Word Doc and use search later to sift through very quickly. Eg, keep Word docs for each month of entries.
You can also use online tool journals that will search your dream journal for common signs such as http://www.sawlogs.net/.
But the Hard Copy journal should be just that, a hard copy incase your PC goes BANG. Dont get rid of it.
This is only one use of the volume you are about to throw away.
Ok, I'm not having any problem yet. It's just I thought the pages were accumulating faster than I would have thought so, but I'll remember this when there's no place left :banana:
It's fun to go back and look at dreams you had a few years ago and think, "Oh yah! I remember that!" I throw in another vote to hang on to them. :D
Same here :PQuote:

Even the boring short ones may have that one little dreamsign that pieces a major dream sign together.Quote:

Also just the process of jotting them down helps in memory, recall and lucidity.
Actually, one of these boring ones was just my mom's friend (which I haven't seen for a while) telling my mom to sit at the table she was sitting at herself. I remember her crossing her legs. I remember the room to be kind of dark and the table to be black and the chair too. Or just a dark brown color... I don't think that can be a dream sign but I'll keep it anyways, can't kill me. And I don't have the "My DJ is full" problem yet.
Did anyone mention this yet....keep a digital dream journal. Either online or simply on your local hard drive. You can even make a back-up copy or two or a hundred and it takes almost zero space!
Look up about 7 posts my friend.Quote:
