Thread: how do you jot down your dreams??

I use a program made by Banhurt that can be found in the Grandfather Dream Journals section to organize my dreams, but I don't think the download link is available anymore. Just separate the content of your dreams instead of going through one continuous stream. There's many ways you can do that:

• Make a Title
• Date (M/D/Y) or whatever format you generally use
• Non-lucid, Lucid
• Dream content
• Then your interpretation of the dream

Something simple like that will help a lot in structuring each dream so it doesn't look like a huge wall of text that's hard to interpret.

thats a usefull tip.... thanks

I hold a digital recorder in my hony little hand while sleeping and record dreams when I wake up before I wiggle, Then later I edit it at leisure in my dream journal and save it to a removable drive.

Lately i've been kinda lazy about it, maybe cuz my dreams have just been soo weird lately (axiety from my autism=not helpful).

But resently I started using my Dreamjournal.net account, Hellopachirissu, again, though. Sometimes.

I wrote down some dream about a kirby chalange lol.

I wanna try to get into journaling again. Used to take it a lot more seriously in the past, i guess i sorta lazed out a bit afterawile....its nice to be able to re-read my dreams, though. Also can make lucids easier to get. lucid dreaming is epic anyways (i probably know this site due to it in genneral XD)

I use to draw rough sketches which I could later translate into words if I want.

There's no need to write down the entire dreams as paragraphs. Use multiple paragraphs instead. Separate them where you would if you were writing a story. Whenever one scene or train of thought is over, start a different paragraph, usually after a few sentences. Scene changes and streams of thought in dreams can be a little odd, the boundaries aren't always obvious, so just separate them wherever seems right to you.

It's unnecessary to spend too much time writing dreams down when you first wake up. You can even write them down in point form, or with terrible grammar and typos. Because, when you first wake up, you're still trying to remember the dreams. If you find the memories may be fading, it's most important to record the content as quickly as possible. Then, if you'd like to improve the quality, you can always edit it some time afterward.
