Thread: I think I started dreaming at school. Also DJ troubles.

If you dont want to write your dream down as soon as you wake up, then heres what I usually do...

Just think through the dream as well as you can remember it. Tell it to somebody... I mean, not out loud, and not to anybody really, but rehearse it as if you're telling it to a friend. Subvocally, ya know?

This will fix the details in your mind and later in the day when youre awake enough to write you should be able to remember it. It works for me anyway.

Yeah, I see stuff too when I'm about to fall asleep like I think you were. At least someone didn't come down in a banana type thing from the ceiling, smile at you, then ascend back into the ceiling >.>




And as for my DJing routine. Well, before I got good at it, I'd wake up and not open my eyes, I'd lay there for a good ten minutes, trying to piece together scenes from the dream, the dialogue that was said, at which point did each thing take place etc. I'd get it solid in my mind, keep repeating it over and over again before even moving. Because even just moving would dull the memory a bit. When I thought I got it strong enough, I'd get up and go write it down quickly.



Now, I can remember entire dreams immediately near flawlessly, even with moving, getting up to get something to drink etc. I write down every dream still too. At least, every one I liked.

On a school day I cant lie with my eyes closed to remember it because I fall straight back to sleep. But on a weekend when I wake up naturally I can lie and not fall asleep and thats usually when I get the best dreams Unless its just when I remember the best dreams.

Ive wrote a few dreams in my DJ but they arn't that full because I forget most of the detail but I have a good feeling that it will get better

I keep a dream journal but i'm way too tired to write my dreams down properly in the morning XD what I do is I put a pen on a mini note pad next to my bed, already open on the page so i don't even have to open it in the morning XD anyway i just write down a couple of words that will help trigger my memory later, for example if you had a dream that you were riding an elephant to school but couldn't get there cos of building works i'd put
elephant- me riding
on road
roadworks- couldn't get past
honestly it saves so much time and when you do have time read the words and write a detailed entry about the dream in your proper diary, it makes it so much easier and you do remember (just don't leave copying it up till weeks later cos then it's like what the hell? what's with the random words??) XD

and you fell asleep in P.E ?? ahahah how? what were you doing?? XD

I used to do this It worked at first but then I got lazy and stopped writing them up properly and ended up with about 10 to write up at once, thats when I stopped DJing. Hopefully if I keep doing it the way that I am doing it my recall will get better and I will be able to write them later in the day with out taking notes

haha, everyone was sitting on the floor talking and Miss wouldn't start the lesson till everyone shut up. I had no one to talk to and was bored so I just lay down and went to sleep XD Then woke up to someone shouting my name and everyone laughing haha. The best thing was, everyone except me got wrong for talking and I got praised for being quiet

"Ive wrote a few dreams in my DJ but they arn't that full because I forget most of the detail but I have a good feeling that it will get better"



Yeah, recall gets way better with practice. Keep trying, you'll master it eventually. You could try recording your dreams by way of voice on something too. My digital camera doubles as a voice recorder among other things, and if I woke up in the middle of the night, I'd record what dreams I remembered into it, then go back to sleep.



Of course, when I woke back up in the morning and played it back and heard "Zombies.... *mumble* bathtub.... *mumble* *loud breathing into mic for a minute* and then I *mumble mumble* *voice recording ends*" I'd be like "what the hell?" o.0



Yeah, dreamdreamdream, that's how I put down all the dreams I had in my original dream journal before I lost it, down into my new one.



"haha, everyone was sitting on the floor talking and Miss wouldn't start the lesson till everyone shut up.

lol, xD

I couldnt remember one thing from the dream I had last night. I woke up with the dream feeling but couldn't remember a thing.

Thats a good idea, except I hate the sound of my own voice.. gosh I am so picky xD Plus if I started talking in the middle of the night my mam would probably wake up and get annoyed

Aahahah wow nice one! Ugh I never liked P.E!!


And yeah the only set back to that method of recording dreams is that I end up with about 10 to copy up too! I just don't have time to do it all the time though XD But just carry on what you doing, your recall will keep getting better

P.E is my favourate lesson though! Shows how much I like school like.

My recall is definatally getting better, I remembered loads last night, I just forget bits imbetween and the order that they happened. That'll soon get better though

Little by little, over time you'll remember better your dreams, I promise you. Patience is the mother of all science.

The unfortunate thing is that im not a very patient person (: I wish my recall was better since I had a LD last night and I cant remember as much of it as I would like to.. but eventually I will remember everything and LD a lot more often.. hopefully

You're a quite pessimistic no? haha. Don't worry about it, every night you have the oportunity of develop your dream recall abilities, that's 356 oportunities at year. Think this is like football, imagine you play 365 matches at year, probably you would become in the best football player, compared with you, Ronaldo would be a joke. ehm....well, I digress a little from the topic. :S
What I mean is do not worry, day by day it's easier to remember your dreams, and less cumbersome....

[QUOTE=Tarsso;1316011]Why do people think that fall asleep in the school is so weird? haha]



I don't find falling asleep in class weird, i mean i've been in enough lessons battling to keep my eyes open, I just wondered how one could fall asleep in a lesson that involves a lot of physical activity! Heehe and I got my answer

Ooops i did the quote wrong! Well i can't be bothered to change in now...XD
