Thread: how much do you write in your DJ?

Usualy bullet points on the stranger parts of the dream and key things otherwise I end up writing an essay. I always write everything i can remeber about my actual lucid dreams.

As of yet, being new the the whole concept, I haven't really had a chance to start one. Of course I plan too but I'm a little uncertain what to write...

"Last night I dreamt about a duck. It was blue.....?" Just one lame example.

Sometimes half of the A4 paper, and sometimes two lines. Everytime different. Sometimes i don't write anything I just go back to sleep and miss my chance of having a LD

When I take the time to write in my dreamjournal, which is only when I don't have to do anything in the morning, I write between half a page and a page per dream. I could easily go to two or three pages per dream, but at 10 minutes per page, I dont have the time. If I have more than two dreams, I usually take quick notes in bullet form on them, which is enough to jog my memory a bit. I would probably write more, and more frequently, if I kept a DJ on my computer, but since its halfway across the house from my bedroom, that isn't as convenient as my notebook.

Hi,

I just started my dream journal so you can see how much I write there!

I pratically never write in my DJ so...my recall sucks. Can't remember the dream from last night.

i write from 1 paragraph (REALLY short dream, i cant remember like any of it) to about 5 paragraphs (Being lucid, or having a VERY long/memorable dream) and yes it helps with recal, it used to be i might recall 1 dream every 3 days, now i recall 2 dreams a night almost

I try to put as much as i can, if i don't want to put a lot in, then it doesn't matter a lot, my mind would probably remember the details.

I usually do two paragraphs of strictly plot-info. Sometimes I draw a diagram of where I was, or write how I felt during the dream.

it's been over a month for me.

when i was writing regularly, the length of the entry depended on how vivid and unusual the dream was, but generally a paragraph or two.

I just write down what happened, who I did it with, and anything that might be important and where it was.

Lately about a page to a page and a half. I do it in a bullet-list, though, rather than in paragraph form. I'm a writer so writing in paragraph form would just about kill me to have it all make no sense When my recall was really good, though, I'd write up to 4 or 5 pages (2 - 2.5 front/back pages).

i write anywhere from 1 line to a whole page, depending on how much i can remember. Ive never wrote more than a page though.
