haven't been here in a while

lately i haven't been bothering to write my dreams down, so right now i'll list the recent ones i can remember.

this one time I achieved lucidity for a split second and then was immediately distracted from it. later in the same dream i was with a girl, running along a river. she was being chased by Bruce Dickenson of Iron Maiden.

Another "river" dream (there are many): people were getting a strange disease from these bugs (apparently of extraterrestrial origin) who seemed to favor rank wet places. I found my brother living with these things, suffering as they crawled all over him.

in another dream, I seemed to be homeless, and getting help from people i know in the real world, without asking for any. in this dream i told my favourite cousin that he's actually my brother, which is true, though i really haven't talked with him about it yet.

and most recently, it was a dream about vampires. there was a vampire guy who had a mortal girlfriend, and didn't want her to know what he really was. She would say things like "why can't we ever get together in the daytime?" and he would try to get her to leave his house before he got to hungry.

Sweet... Vampire dreams!!!!! Very cool! Journal journal journal... I can't say how much it has helped my dream recall since I have joined DV! Sometimes I am too lazy to write it down and promptly forget the dream. Later i kick myself for not writing it down! Anyway thanks for sharing your dreams with us! If it helps I see many people have started to keep their journal in the new "Dream Journal" forum! I haven't started mine there yet but If you start one it may help you to be consistent! Don't know just an Idea!

Welcome back!

Welcome back! :cheers:

Its important to write down your dreams, no matter how much you DONT WANT to in the middle of the night :|

That was one of my problems when I first found out about lding. I just couldn't force myself to write during the night.

Well I found out that it doesn't matter how much you write, it's just a matter of writing something down. So now I usually just put down a word or two, and when I look at it in the morning I can jumpstart my memory to record the whole thing down.
