      I'm new!

      Hello, everybody! I've just joined and I'm very amazed at how great this website is! For as long as I can remember, I've had a really creative mind while dreaming. I don't mean that my dreams are more complex than those of the average sleeper, but that I am able to "write stories" into an imaginary book inside my dreams. When I'm awake, I'm terrible at writing (I have extreme writer's block and cannot put together sentences to save my life). While I'm asleep (usually when I realize I'm dreaming and that I'm liable to wake up at any moment), I can take a subject and "free write" without any problems into a blank book.

      So, I'm here to ask your advice on keeping a dream journal. Obviously, I can't fully wake up from my sleep to write this "book" into a dream journal, but I am able to narrate the writing aloud as I create it in my head. Has anyone here kept a dream diary via an audio recorder? I've tried frantically to record my dreams on paper, but I find that I can never notate it in its entirety before it slips from my mind.

      Let me know what you think!

      Welcome Doctor! Always good to see another fan... unless it's a coincidental name

      Recording your dream and improving recall as it's called takes time and practice. As I've read the best technique involves staying still after the dream. If you get up right away your brain will start working on other things and start to forget about that awesome experience of flying through space on a horse (don't ask ) you just had. Let the memory settle in, try and remember it, the details, people, places , setting, everything you need. When you have it solid in your mind, which may take time but it's time worth using, get the journal/recording device (I believe either would work, a recorder would require less work I believe and help your brain concentrate more on the dream than writing) which should be nearby for recording your dream.

      Enjoy your time here, I only post every once in a while (note my post count) but I definitely read and study everything, which you should too, education in this subject is needed and very much worth it.

      Welcome to DV!

      I personally write my dreams on paper, but I don't see why you couldn't record them and then transcribe them later.

      That's awesome that you write stories in your dreams. Many famous people used lucid dreaming to get better at sports, got ideas for books, or even invented stuff.

      I know what you mean haha, what i do is when i log into DV to write my dream in a DJ or even on paper i will backtrack in my head whats happened (after doing it in bed to get as much from the memory as i can) then i will bullet point the most significant parts in chronological order and i will write it up from there, each significant part helping me remember the dream and also may even help me remember things that i had forgotten.
