Hand-written dream journal tip for those who share the bedroom
Ever since I started keeping a dream journal, I wanted to make it hand-written, because I had read dream recall improved a lot this way. Of course, sharing the bedroom with my sister was a major problem, because I couldn't just turn on a light in the middle of the night to write down my dreams. So, I had always used phone apps for this.
Some days ago I came up with an idea. I got a dinA5 sized ring folder (this size seems the most convenient). I thought every night I would get a sheet of paper and put it under my pillow with a pen and my tablet, with its screen brightness turned to the lowest. What I do is use the tablet not only as the surface on which I write, but also as a light source.
I have used this as my dream journal for 10 days now and I certainly have noticed great improvement in my dream recall. For those who don't want to turn any lights on at night and have a tablet (or iPad), you can give this a go.
Hope this is useful to someone, it definitely would've been to me :)
