Currently I am not able to edit my old journal entry to add tag. Is is possible to add tags to the journal entry later?
i do get time out some time. How do I get back my last editing session?
It's a great idea to journal non-lucid dreams for a couple of reasons:
Firstly, keeping a DJ helps to improve your dream recall, which will make it more likely that you'll remember your lucid dreams too.
Secondly, going back through your recent dreams can help you to identify common themes that recur, called "dream signs". Dream signs can be anything you dream about often, whether it's a person, place, situation, emotion, etc. Let's say one of your dream signs is the ocean, you can tell yourself, "When I next see the ocean, I will remember I'm dreaming," or "Whenever I see the ocean, I will remember to do a reality check". Dream signs change over time, so it's a good idea to regularly review your DJ to find any new themes.
The dream journal "tags" on DV can be used for tracking dream signs, or reminding yourself of something important in a dream so you can find it again. You can add up to 10 tags per dream, which will be listed at the bottom of the DJ entry, and also in a tag cloud on the right-hand side of the DJ. Any tag can be clicked, and it will take you to a list of dreams featuring that tag.
To add tags to old DJ entries, click on the entry and hover over the text that says "Tags: None" (under the main text in the entry). A box will pop up where you can add new tags.
As long as you remain logged in to DV (by clicking the "Remember Me" option), all text boxes will auto-save periodically as you type. If you have lost your text, try clicking the "Restore Auto-Saved Content" button at the bottom left side of the text box.
When writing DJ entries, to be safe, I often "select all" and "copy" my text as I go, or write it all up in an offline document and copy it to DV when I finish.
I hope this answers your questions, let me know if you have any more.
