Thread: Being told to not write to my Dream Journal

Alright... this started about a month ago.

My mother had got worried (without me knowing) about me keeping a DJ as I talked about a bit. She contacted this consellor which came to talk about my dream journal.

She pretty much instantly told me: "I "advice" you to not write to your dream journal" *points at my DJ like it would be satan's bible* I told her that I won't do that, so she figured that I should not write to my DJ every morning, but every other morning.
This was because she thought that I have some kind of obsession to writing them down, and that I might think they tell the future or shit like that.

Well, I did that. I wrote to my DJ every other morning only, so I wrote down the dreams of two nights every time I wrote to it. My dream recall went quite low.

Month later (today) she contacts me with phone. Apparently she ment that I should have basically not wrote down the dreams from every other night. Now, this got me quite pissed. I mean, my recall was already low, and this would pretty much be the last blow. I said that it would be the same as not writing to my DJ at all, as my recall would be destroyed. Her reply: "Well, then you have no dream journal!"

Me: "That is like telling my mother: Hey! Watch this series but the every other episode only!" and stuff. In the end I was like "Mmh" about it all, being the coward I am, not saying things at people's face straight.

Some minutes later she tells me that she would like to try me writing to my DJ with different colored pens. I am like "What, why?" She: "Let's say your DJ gets more colorful." (Although she also said something about dreams changing that way.)

Well, after the call is over, I am pissed and come talking to IRC (on this site) about it all. MarTango and Hydronic listen to my story and give me some comment back (special thanks to them.)

I decide to call my mother about this all and tell her how I feel: "This is shit."
She tells that she is okay with me keeping a DJ, just that she got worried when I talked about it a lot(not really, I wouldn't say...) and when I stopped, her worries went away. She told me that I should do like I want and counsellor can't do anything about it. I am happy with this.

So, everything should be just fine now. I am pretty proud of myself at the moment.
