      Well, it is hard to advise anything. Your solution is pretty fine, lately you may have other dreams about this place and decide what is more "right". After all, it is our conscious effort which stabilize dream world and helps to connect places to each other.

      Personally, my Home city currently is very chaotic - I have no clue about how different places are situated relatively to each other except street where my home is located and subway entrance (it is roughly the same as IRL but I am sure this is not the case for other places), so as you could see in my pre-draft (which I posted in another topic) I just roughly placed all important city locations into Home city area.

      Funny but I better know a small town to which I can get by train. Maybe because it is much smaller - a couple of areas (few street each) connected by trolleybus route.

      My places seem to be connected in one way or another. I travelled a great distance last night. By bicycle. Whatever

      My home city is quite structured, I must say, it looks a lot like my usual home town, with a few exceptions, and also the school is a bit strange

      Huh.. interesting, I never gave the dream setting that much attention before. I wonder if it would help improve dream recall in a kind of 3-dimentional way. Definitely worth a try. I'll read through it again when I have more time.

      Hey Ophelia, did you get my PM about maybe making this a sub-topic under Additional Resources? P.S. Phantasos, I PM'ed ninja9578, OpheliaBlue, Man of Steel, and Asher about making Dream Cartography a sub-topic under Additional Resources.

      Just thought everybody might like to see an example of a dream map. It is poorly drawn, but it should give you an example of what one looks like. Well, here it is.
      Sorry, I could only get it in a thumbnail. As you will see, I use the most frequented area ( the school ) as the center. Due to unkown correlations in location, I will do certain areas instead of a global one. For example, this map is of my school area.

      Looks nice. Probably I should also make "minimaps" of areas around important locations. I will post my general map when I finish current version.

      But what is this green area?
