My Dreams Feel Too Private

Hi GUys,

I want to ask everyone a question?!
Does anybody else find that their dreams are just to private to write in the Dream Journal? And i don't mean neccesarily that the dreams are intimate or sexual, just that it feels almost invasive to be sharing my inner, deepest consciousness with the world.
I understand that its kinda one of the main points behind this site and its a great idea but i just can't help but feel almost like its slightly violiting. and i feel almost afraid to expose the depths of my sub-conscious. Maybe i'm afraid of them just not being accepted and that people might laugh or dissaprove of my inner and most personal workings and thoughts, i'm just not sure!
Has anybody else had this feeling or am i alone on this one?? lol, I just wanted to get that out there and see what everyone thinks, again maybe i'm just looking myself to be told it's normal. :lol:

It's totally normal to feel like that - dreams can definitely be deeply personal, and you obviously don't have to share any more than you feel absolutely comfortable sharing. I know it took me a while to get used to my dreams enough to feel comfortable sharing them online. However, I do find it a lot easier posting things here, on a forum all about dreams, than I do telling them in person even to close friends and family members.

If you still want to use DreamViews's DJ feature, you can always set it to "Private" so that only you and staff have access to it.

Well, you don't have to share every dream on here. You are not the only one that feels this way. I always keep my DJ locked most of the time. I rarely post my dreams in public. Sorry guys. ;) You have some options like, you could set your Dream Journal to private. You could also, set only the DJ entries that you want to keep private as you wish. Your Friends, contacts, and the forum staff members would probably be the only ones to be able to see your entries, though. :D

Oops, I didn't see you there, Spellbee. No, it is available to everyone and free. The private option is located in the DJ editor. Here's how:

I'm a super private person.

Just to let you know you're not alone in this, Leeh, I share similar concerns. I don't have a DJ here (or anywhere online), and I don't feel at all like I've missed out on anything... there are plenty of other ways to participate here at DV's.

I put very few dreams on here. Basically just than ones that i feel like sharing. I don't like the idea of writing all my dreams out. I am not really private as much as lazy, but I have just a paper DJ for a sentence I two for each dream (unless I find them interesting).

Thanks guys...your replies have been very helpfull XX
