Thread: Most effective way to keep a Dream Journal?

Well, I usually just document it first on here, as I can usually remember my dreams quite clearly. If I have a detailed dream then I'll write it down on a notepad when I wake up. I don't really think either method is better than the other, it just depends on how much detail you can recall.

I write them down on the computer, in a word document. I find this works fine for me, since I leave my computer on at night and can type it out write away. I type quickly and write relatively slowly, so this works much better for me. I also like writing them on the computer because I can change the color of the text, and can always search for keywords to look for dreamsigns, which I couldn't do very easily if my dreams were kept in notebooks.

I should probably keep a notepad by my bed though, for brief notes, as I sometimes wake up during the night and just fall back asleep, forgetting whatever dreams I awoke from.

Both! I have an app on my iPad called penultimate... That's what I use, so it written but also electronics.

I hope it's ok to revive this thread. I didn't want to start an entirely new thread on the same topic.

I like to write mine in a physical notebook. I used to use an audio recording app, but I could never understand myself the next day when I played the recordings. To make writing easier, I want to share a really cool trick that I have been doing to journal my dreams. Here it is:



I choose the red light because it's less assaulting to my eyes than the blue or white lights. It works really well!!
