Thread: DreamJournal 2.6 - free program for recording dreams

Can someone please help me? D;

I've had that error before. I ended up opening task manager and just ended all DJ processes. It worked for me.

Ah, thank you :3
My English isn't too awesome so I didn't really understand the message xD

Is there a way to export your dreams into a microsoft word doc, so you can save it and print it off?

Darn, that's how your DJ look so nice. I run Ubuntu and I can't make this thing work No fancy DJ for me.

Oh, and wine won't run it.

Hmm...I'm wondering if I may just have an old copy of DJ stored somewhere on the external hard drive. If I can find it, I may be able to upload it (with Banhurt's permission). I know that some people got it to run with Wine before the upgrade, and the downgraded version is actually very nice, too.

Awesome!!!!

Thank you a lot

I have a question.
When I choose the "publish" option, does it publish a new Dream Journal -thread- or does it post the dream in my current DJ? </ noob>

EDIT: Awh, I see. You use it only to format the dream, then you copy and paste it online, am I right? Never mind.

My problem was solved once I downloaded the .NET framework. Thanks Banhurt. This program is excellent.

One problem I came across is when I change the default colors, it does not actually do it. It just posts in the usual format.

-CV

i tried to run dreamjournal 2.5 it says "application failed to initilize properly"

do you need .net framework or something ? if so what version

i also changed the shortcut name

Made it work!

I'm entering all my dreams into it so I will skyrocket my stats and edit my entire journal.

Btw... I suggest adding the tasks of the year, as I archived one of them and I will complete other one tonight or soon! That way, you can mark them like the ToTMs.

When I tried to download it, i clicked "save to file" and then nothing popped up after that...

You have to run the file...

yea but nothing happens after I click "save"... it just disappears and doesn't save anywhere..

That is odd... No idea, I might needed to see it. Do you get an error or just "nothing"?

after i click "save file," a blank box pops up says says "Downloads." and in the bottom of my screen, a smaller box pops up and says "threat found on dreamjournal.exe"

oh! i think I got it... I found the place where all the saved files went.. haha there's like 10 of them.. then i clicked on one of them and it worked

I just went to open my dream journal and record last night's dream, it didn't open. Instead a "Send Error Report" box came up. I clicked Don't Send as usual. A few seconds later I went to open the dream journal again, and the start up menu came up. I thought, "WTF? Where's my dream journal?" I clicked open existing and looked for it in the folder, and the file was gone. I don't remember what the default directory was for the backup either, if someone could tell me that would be swell, but yeah, I just lost 240 dreams. I have most of them on my dream journal on here, but there are at least 50 that aren't on here.

Oh, and I checked the recycle bin. It's not there either. I don't understand why it did this. It brings my piss to a boil though.


EDIT - Okay, something is severely wrong with the program for me. I tried to start a new dream journal, because my old one with 240 dreams is now all gone and lost, and I created a new one. Instead of taking me to the normal page where your dreams will be displayed, "Send Error Report" came up, AGAIN, and when I went to open the new file again, it was gone just like my old one. Can someone please help me, because I'm about to destroy everything around me.

EDIT Again - Now every time I try to open the program, "Send Error Report" comes up and I can't use it. Great. I guess I have to use Notepad now.

You could try deleting the program and re-downloading it, perhaps. The executable may have gotten corrupted somewhere along the lines for whatever reason. Couldn't hurt. Failing that, if you don't have MS office, Open Office is a great free alternative.

Well, I got it to work again. I had to reformat my computer, because I tried restarting and it wouldn't start back up again, it just kept restarting over and over. So I had to reformat. When I got back on the computer about 2 hours later, Dream Journal worked fine, the file with my old dreams was still gone(keep everything on a portable hard drive). It's alright. I have mostly all of them on here. I'll just have to keep a new journal.

What I find weird is that I'm still on the rankings list with all my details, even though the file is gone.

Hi I wanted to say many thanks for making this program, i've used it a lot. however, recently my computer (running windows XP) broke and now i'm using a macbook - i would like to inquire if there was a way to use this program on the mac os? p.s. i don't know much about using macs

• new, open XML-based file format
• sync with new DreamViews and other online dream journals
• multiple dreams in one entry
• voice recording
• print
• sample tags and goals for new users
• font settings
• custom font styles (like non-dream, dream, lucid)
• more stats
• settings for stats
• online ranking removed
• close file
• automatic backup restore
• ctrl+s bug fixed
• support for Mac / Linux ?

Let me know if I've forgotten anything.



Currently not, sorry.

Although I have windows now, a linux version would be awesome.
For the stats, you might add some weight depending the dream. Right now a short dream / fratment gives same stats than a large one. I have some epic two pages dream with a one whole page lucid. a word count for each dream would be nice.

Also, a dream sign searcher assistant would be awesome. It would pill words from your dreams that are present in more than one. We would avoid adverbs, nouns and other common words... It could classify the most used words in your dreams and classify them as dream sign.

I don't know if this exclusively a problem on my end or not, but the Firefox error thing where I have to change my default browser and change back again has been cropping up at an increased frequency. I know I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox...maybe there are some compatibility issues? Or maybe it's just bad luck?

hmm thats weird. all my dream entries are gone now... o-o ummm please tell me thats supposed to happen?
