Hey Guys, |

Well sometimes for me writing down a few main ideas or key words works fine. Later on when I look back at what I wrote, the words will remind me of a certain event, and then the rest of the dream will come back to me. |

You could always write a few key points and come back later and right in the whole thing. Those keypoints are crucial for you to remember the rest of your dream later on. |

When you wake up in the morning, just lie there without moving and wait for the dream details to come back to you. |

My Dream Journal
The problem is not with remembering the dream as much as that I'm too tired to write it all down. I try to hit only the main idea(s) before passing back out again. |

Being to tired is a problem you can easily overcome |
|
After you have managed to scribble down a few crucial points in your book, carry it around with you (except in the shower!). Keep looking back on it and when you feel a bit more sober, try expanding on those points. |
|
what I do is maybe write down the main idea, jump in the shower and on my way to school I write in all of the details. I think you should also try to write more that a paragraph if a paragraph means 5-6 complete sentences. I know, it might be hard. Or you might be having a dry spell, i get those too. write as much as you can I guess would be the best way to put it. |

I have been keeping a dream journal for about a week as well and I find that when I wake up after a good night's sleep (7+ hours) I remember a lot of detail to one of the dreams I had that night. At first I wrote down the dreams but they ended up taking up to a whole page, front and back, and then some (and I write relatively small). This has me a little annoyed at writing the dreams down now just because of the amount of time it takes. So I guess my question is, do I have to record the dream with all the details or will a general outline do the trick just as well? |
|
I know your pain, not being able to write the stuff down, i have to up and moving by 6:45 so i dont get any time to. What i do is during school, i sit in my classes when i have nothing to do of if the teacher that hates me is trying to teach French, i sit there and mull over my dream, figureing out all that happened and trying to remember it all. By the time i get home i have most of it remembered. Then id pull out my handy dandy notebook and write what i remembered. I did that for about 2 months, so i got a good chunk of a 1 subject notebook filled out. |

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
I don't think it is neccessary to write everything down. When you are "paving" the way to your "shadow-memory" it gradually becomes easier to remember dreams. But it is still great to have some information about people, places, strange things (or dreamsigns) or even strong feelings to analyze later on. Problem is in the beginning of your "LD-carreer" you won't really know what your dreamsigns are, so there is a bit of work involved. But then again 2 pages is 2 much if you think it is a chore. (?) |
