DJ... Do you have the same problem?

[SleepyCookieDough]

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?

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.

I find its best to keep a Note Dream Journal next to your bed. 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.
