Thread: Noob Question about Purpose of Dream Journal

I often dream of skateboarding, low gravity, and college psychology.

The purpose of a journal extends beyond identifying dreamsigns, however. Our memory functions interdependently, and all events once 'completed' have a particular sequence. When you begin to write something down (anything you remember) - lets call it B, then there must've been an event that preceded and proceeded that B. Given the interdependency of memory, it will be far easier to recall these preceding and proceeding events after noting down B.

Not sure if I'm clear here, but I hope you get the gist.

What I got from that is that jotting down notes on your dreams jogs your memory of what you dreamed about? And I totally agree with you, I found that writing down ANYTHING about the nights dreams helps to bring back a clearer image.

Thanks everyone for listing your dream signs, it's giving me a better perspective.
