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!
