    Formatting
    (Starting As of March 5, 2018, because I know I'm close now!)

    Lines


    • Lines indicate a drastic division in what I'm writing before and after the line. They may appear as multiple lines on some devices, because I'm too lazy to try to figure out textbox scaling.




    1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      • Indicates a shift from dream to post-dream notes, or from pre-dream notes to a dream. Notes will not be color-coded when separated from the dream by this line.

    2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Title, info)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      • Indicates a switch from one dream to another. Has the title of the following dream, as well as info about the dream, between two of the lines. This is not required for the title and information of the first entry of a date.

    3. **************************************(Date)****** *******************************************
      • Marks a shift in days if I get lazy and decide to post multiple days' entries on one day.




    In-Text Formatting



    • The in-text formatting indicates how to interpret what is written. If you know basic grammar, you should be good for the most part when reading my DJ.

    Color-Coding


    • The color-coding of the text indicates a detail about what is written.



    1. Black -- Non-lucid dream, clear
    2. Green -- Non-lucid dream, hazy
    3. Yellow -- Somewhat aware of the fact that I am dreaming; semi-lucid
    4. Red -- Lucid, clear dream
    5. Orange -- Lucid, hazy dream
    6. Purple -- A thought that I'm having in the dream
    7. Blue -- Comments on something in a dream (not actually from the dream), usually in parenthesis



    These formatting choices may change as I write more and more dreams.

    1. So close.

      My Dream starts off with me and my friend (we'll say his name is Al) at my neighborhood community center. All of a sudden, Al saw a turtle (or tortoise, not completely sure), and proceeded to skateboard after it. The scene shifts.

      I am at my house when another friend (we'll call her Ann) comes over. We simply hang out for what feelt like the entire day. I start to realize something's wrong.

      "Come on," Ann said, pulling on my arm.

      "Hold on, let me check something." I responded.

      I try to push my fingers through my hand, with no success. So I pull out my phone. It reads 8:00. I turn it off and on again. 8:04. I try again. 7:00. I try yet again to make sure. A Korean sentence is displayed.

      "I'm dreaming!" I shouted. Before I get to do anything cool, I have a false awakening into a cartoon world

      I woke up pretty quickly, feeling disappointed in myself.

      What I found really interesting about this dream was the sheer scale of the time dilation I experienced in my dream. I lived through a full day in there within a one or two hour nap. Also, it was my first lucid dream since I joined DV, which I think is cool. I'm kinda upset that my lucid dream was so abruptly ended right as I gained lucidity. Also mad that I was unable to regain lucidity in such a surreal, cartoony dream, right after a pretty realistic dream world. But that's also really interesting to me.
