Write things in your dream and write it when you come out?

[Ewan]

A thought just occured to me. Would it be possible to write some inspirational ideas down inside your dream or something you've learned from it, and come out of the dream remembering every single word of it. (80-100 words)?? Thanks.

I don't think this is possible to do. First of all, the part of your brain that recognizes letters and symbols shuts off during sleep, so anything you write down will probably change or get distorted. Also, to remember something of 80-100 words, you would have to have fantastic dream recall and memory. I would have trouble remembering something that long in waking life xD Good luck!

Ok thanks

.../you would have to have fantastic dream recall and memory/... Could it happen too, in a conversation with a DC?

Like jblb2424 said the letters would change and maybe get totally abstract etc. but I think it would be possible to at least remember the fundament/plot of what you "wrote" down. After my opinion it depends all on how good your recall is.

Maybe I won't write it down then, but rather say it out loud and hope I remember most of it. It'd be an ok case study. Making a short poem based on your dream and reading it out when you wake.

I doubt you could remember it word-for-word, but writing something down does help to reinforce it in your memory (while awake, at least, though I don't see why that wouldn't apply while dreaming), so it wouldn't hurt to try.
