DJ Question

**Sharpshoey** · 07-17-2014 06:23 PM

Do I have to include every detail of my dream in my Dream Journal? This morning, I recorded a dream that took up four pages! It took one hour to write and I feel that it shouldn't take up that much of my time, and I still had two more dreams that I remembered. So can anyone give me some tips for shortening my Dream Journal entries out but still giving the same benefits to Dream Recall? Thank you!

It has to be detailed enough to bring you back in the dream, if I you have a dream of you standing in your kitchen then writing down the word 'kitchen' should already be enough.

Ok so I could have probably cut my DJ entry down to like two pages then. I was detailing every little thing so it took forever. Thank you, this had helped me a lot!

EDIT: I think what I will do then is just jot down some key words in my RL DJ, and then later in the day grab my notebook and read what key words I wrote down to help me remember the dream. Then I can write the entire dream out in detail in my DJ on these forums because you can type much faster so it won't take as long.
