Thread: stupid noob question

I do both. When I wake up in the morning (or sometimes in the night) I quickly scribble down as much as I can remember. Then when I come to type it up on the computer, I usually find I can remember a lot more details. Also, it helps that you can cut and paste on a computer. Otherwise my handwritten DJ would have added notes and stuff going everywhere!

haha yeah true about the copypaste, i used to have a notebook but my bed is really close to my pc, so i usually just leap at the pc.

dunno, im prolly going to start using both aswell, since im going to be away form my pc some nights so a notebook might come handy.

i just think that in a few years to u will be more valuable if u have it on paper, handwritten

aww ur right

I always write mine down instead of typing them

Today, i was cleaning the mess outta my room and i found some of my writting, and they always put a smile on my face...they r so stupid .. but still i keep them

awwww, yeah , i guess dream journals work as a messed up diary since ur dreams r often based on stuff u saw irl

Writing them down is probably a more effective method due to the time and effort taken to do it, it seems more important when in a written form i believe but when its online it may feel less important. Writing it down is probably more effective if you ask me.

This is exactly what I do and it works well for me.

There is no right or wrong way to keep a DJ as long as the method works well for you.

/\ yeah, as long as your recording your dreams you're doing the right thing.

I personally just use my journal because my computer is all the way downstairs so mine is just a convenience and it naturally how I started. I always thought that maybe one day i would type them up so that some of the dreams I wrote when I was 13 I would be able to make out. what can I say my penmanship wasn't the best then :p

ugh yeah, i just spent the weekend at my cottage/(cabin for u americans) so i had to use a notebook,
dont know if it was the cottage or the notebook but i had ATLEAST 3x the material i'd normally have.

Also, I believe that ,having a pen and paper is better
