Recording my dreams got boring.. What should I do?

**Sydney** · 07-28-2012 02:45 AM

I guess I mean that I don't have enough motivation to actually write my dreams down. I think to myself, "If I can think about them, then I'm good." but I know this isn't right. I want to go back and be able to read my dreams later.

Any ideas on how to increase my motivation to write down my dreams?

Well dream recall is 40% of lucid dreaming and motivation is another 40%. Do you have some way of making dream recording fun, a LDing buddie?!

I'm often sorry that I didn't write more of my dreams down when I was younger. I found a notebook with maybe 30 dreams from 1995 and they are awesome, like a connection to my past. Really brings back memories.

Maybe having a DJ that you make special in some way. Draw some of your dream pictures in it, or prints from computer of something that looks like what was in your dream can make a generic, store bought notebook something more personal and special.

That is a really great idea, gab!

As for motivation, wellll.... my approach is a little odd. I like to remind myself, "Paige! Write them down! What if you get in an accident and have amnesia or get old and have Alzheimers?! All your awesome dreams will be forever forgotten, with no way of ever getting them back!! D: "

So yea, like gab said, Djing brings back really nice memories. After all, we're only human, and this frail old body will die, at least you can take your special memories with you and reminisce when the time comes.

LOOOL okay that was too deep. I'm gonna stop now, before I start crying. Haha
