      How often to you read through your dream journal?

      I'm just curious, how often do you read through your dream journal, besides skimming it for info or quotes or dreamsigns. Do you often read through it to remember good dreams, or to freshen up that feeling of being in a lucid? I read mine through every few days, and I'm curious how often other people do and if there is any correlation between frequently reading your DJ and having lucids. I mean, do the people who do read through them a lot have lds frequently?

      If you do read yours often, mind telling me why?

      As of lately, no. But I intend to more...It's refreshing when I do, though because I remember everything I wrote down how the dream exactly went, how it looked etc. It brings everything in that dream to me. I have yet to have a deeply emotional dream while recording them, but I already know it would envoke those emotions I felt while experiencing it.

      I have been having a dryspell of dreams lately. Perhaps reading it would help me break it. I seem to remember having recall of my dreams each night when I started it then I got discouraged, stopping reading/recording and they stopped again.

      I've never considered a "dream journal" a viable neccessity to recollecting my dream world. Am I wrong?

      I do, however, make it a point to dwell on my dreams coming out of sleep. I realize from this that I have a dream memory almost as concrete and large as my conscious memory. Meaning, my dream world is as immense and real as my waking memory.

      Reading my DJ isn't 100% necessary for me to remember my dreams, but I read it quite often anyway, just for laughs. The whole "damn, this shit came outta my head?" thing dawns on me a lot, and it's great fun.

      I reread it recently and some of the dreams I didn't remember at all. It was like I was reading someone else's dream journal.

      I occasionally read my old Dream Journal just for kicks. Skimming my scrawled scribbles flashes me back with memories more vivid than important events from the time. They're not like normal memories that just fade with time, they're frozen in the journal. It's an odd sensation
      I am of the belief that right now I am dreaming, and that you are all characters, therefore if you don't please me I'll just zap you to the cornfield like that little boy from the Twilight Zone. Or maybe I'm a Schitzo.

      I know exactly what you mean, it's the same way for me! Dream memories are so much more precise and overwhelming than memories from waking life. Or maybe just are on average. Anyway, they're intense!
