DC question

ok i was just about to start my dream journal when something came up. i realized that alot of my friends, family, and rivals you could say appear ALOT in my dreams and when im reading some members dreams they dont mention any names of people. am i supposed to refer all people as dream characters or can i jot down the names. i guess sometimes im not exactly sure who it is, but others im possitive. i also see how if other people were ever to read my DJ, they wouldnt know the backround of the person, so it might make it confusing unless i add in some detail.

oh yea and getting back to the plot of my dreams i was talking about, im starting to think certain people in my dreams (usually the rival, the guys name is ryan so i dont have to keep saying rival..lol) keep the plot going, like causing you to create actions that will lead you furthermore in your dream...is this true?

It's your journal, so you should present it however it makes sense to you. Many people here don't like to reveal too much personal information, so they'll change the names of real life people they dream about, or give them an initial, but usually also explain who this person is in relation to themselves. I do this in my journal, but try to remain consistant about what I call each person.

alright thanks, now that i put some thought into it..theres really no point in mentioning name cause no matter what there playing the same role.. lol
