For two nights I forgot to take my dream journal up into my room. I usually remember my dreams quite well, often fairly vividly and more then one. However, I found that when my dream journal wasnt lying beside me my dreams were more difficult to recall and not as exciting. I made sure to take my dream journal with me the following night and I remembered my dreams really well. They were interesting as well. I remember the first one was being on some hills with my friends (but the hills looked more like mini mountains) overlooking a lake. We were running around trying to pick up watermelons on the hills (no idea why) when they suddenly just flew in the air and splatted on the floor. The next dream I had I think my tounge must have been blocking my throat because I couldnt breath until it woke me up. Then I dreamt about being at a friend's house where lots of weird things happened including being nipped by crabs while I was trying to sleep. The last dream started a bit like Jeremy springer/Trisha/Jeremy Kyle and then I turned into a detective and had to find someone's evil genius son.
None were lucid but all interesting and it seemed to be something to do with the dream journal. Is there a chance it may have influenced my brain into making my dreams more vivid and exciting?
