Well there are several reasons: |
|
I'm just wondering, what makes you guys want to read and comment on another person's dream journal entries? I want to get my dreams out there, exposed, and have people give me their thoughts on it (as I'm sure is natural for anyone with a dream journal) but I'm not going to sit here and ask for it. I'd rather have people read and be interested enough to comment due to the value of my writing. |

Well there are several reasons: |
|
I think there are other factors, such as: |
|
Sometimes I'll comment because I've experienced a similar dream or have some insight into something they said, or just because I really liked a particular entry or something. |
|
I like all kind of dreams, so if the first dream catchs my eye, I will read all of the entries and reply with whatever comes to mind first, I'm just dream-obsesed really. |

Usually, I'll just pick some dreams at random to check out. If the content interests me, or the writing style is compelling to me, I will usually comment. I often tend to put myself in that person's perspective, as well as I can. So if the dream is written in a way that makes that not only easy to do, but interesting enough to keep me wondering what happens next, I will usually show some appreciation for such an interesting read or ask questions about the experience. |

Dream Journal: Dreamwalker Chronicles Latest Entry: 01/02/2016 - "Hallway to Haven" (Lucid)(Or see the very best of my journal entries @ dreamwalkerchronicles.blogspot)
I like to read dreams that are in paragraph forum, descriptive, and have been spell-checked. Like others have said, for me it's mostly what the dream is about, whether it has characters in it that interest me, and also whether the person has a reputable, well-structured DJ. This doesn't mean I won't check out anyone else's DJs, though; I'm always looking at newer ones as well. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

i don't read the DJ's as much as the forums but when i do i usually find other peoples dreams so interesting that i must say something. |

They might be fun to read or i might be whoring points like i did yesterday while i was tagging like 10 DJs |

I scroll through the Dream Journal page which lists the newest entries quite often. |

Dreams are simple.
It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend.
After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world,
not the simplicity of the dream world.

As everyone else has said, rep has alot to do with it, I'm alot more inclined to read someone's dj who's super experienced and had alot of lucids, like puffin and mancon. |

Please feel free to check out my DEILD guide: http://bit.ly/2DOqiyT
Since I have little experience in reading someones DJ I currently don't care about rep a lot. Might change when I'm here for a bit longer. |

Ugh reputation... seriously? When I started reading Oneironauts Matrix I didn't know him, and its one of the best DJs I have ever read, found awesome pieces on small ones, way better than lots of the big ones. Don't think people should read based on reputation, ain't the like of dreams what ties us together? That and its easy to use search to find dreams on anything, regardless of the author. |

I'm not commenting a lot on dream journals, but maybe if the title is catchy, and some other things that have already been said. But I think I'm going to keep an eye on your dreams from now on, if that helps! |

When I decide to peruse the DJ section I'll start by looking for certain names of people who I know write a good dream journal. As for making new discoveries, I'll start by looking for people I've spoken to or read on the board who seem to write well or have interesting things to say. Then I'll quickly scan their journal - if all the entries are only a brief sentence or two Ill pass right on by, or likewise if they're all massive walls of text. |
