Dream journal experience

So this morning marks only the third day that I've been keeping a dream journal. Although I haven't achieved recognizing/acknowledging any dream signs or performing any RCs in my dreams [yet], last night marks the first time that I dreamed about writing in my dream journal. When I woke up, I was happy that I dreamed about my dream journal.

In my dream early on (not sure if it was a middle-of-the-night false awakening or if I was still in my dream proper) I remember writing a brief sentence in my DJ. In my (dreaming) mind at the time, thinking it was my DJ in real life, I recall that I wrote the sentence down in my DJ, fully expecting it to be something that I would forget when up woke up later. And so I was proud of myself to have written it down at that moment. I remember thinking about the amazement I'd have when I would wake up later reading my soon-to-be-forgotten line in my DJ; in my dreaming mind, what I wrote would be interpreted as "profound." Ironically though, I couldn't tell you what I wrote down in my dream; I just remember writing something.

Then later in my dream (and quite more vividly) my DJ entered once again. This time I was writing stuff (couldn't tell you what I wrote, I just don't remember) and I showed my 3-days'-worth of dream journal entries to my ex-wife (should have been a good opportunity for a RC right there since we've been divorced for quite some time, but I digress ...) and I remember how proud I felt knowing that I was doing such a good job at writing in my dream journal.

The only thing I remember about this dreamed-up DJ entry is that I felt the need to take up more space, like that was some sort of DJ requirement (as my entry at the present moment was only a short paragraph long.) Being like a high school kid trying to fudge a written report, I wrote out a single word, in large print, occupying at least five or six lines on my college-ruled paper. Then suddenly, my short paragraph was now occupying almost the entire page (still quite impossible with merely a single large word; a perfect example of text changing from one minute to the next. Obviously another opportunity for a RC, but again, I digress ...)

The only things I recall about this dreamed-up DJ entry were a couple of instances of "DD" adjacent to my overly-large written word. In my (dreaming) mind, the couple instances of "DD" were "obviously references to [bra] cup sizes." LOL! Why? I don't know; just thought it was kind of funny. It's the only vivid thing I can recall about my dreamed-up dream journal entry.

Anyway, I feel that I've made a good step toward lucid dreaming. I may not be performing reality checks or recognizing dream signs in my dreams [yet], but the fact that I was actively using my DJ in my dream shows me that my mind is going in the right direction.

:)

It happened again; I wrote in my dream journal in my dream. This time, however, I had two false awakenings (less than a minute apart.) Each time that I awoke, I briefly wrote in my dream journal. And then less than a minute after the second false awakening, I woke in real life (and, of course, wrote in my dream journal [and performed an RC since this was my "third time" to wake up within a couple minutes.])

Perhaps dreaming about writing in my dream journal is a dream sign. LOL!

lol, this is awesome! I guess this is your dream sign :P Just remember it before you have your dream and try to keep it in mind while your falling asleep. Then, in no time, you should be able to induce your first LD :D
