Thread: Liquid Dream III

Yeah, I wouldn't let that slip by. Thanks again!

Do the subliminals pop up on top of other applications, and are they transparent?

To be honest I just made sure they worked. I haven't had another application in front so I'll have to go look, which is gonna mean reinstalling my grub. Just installed a fresh copy of Windows on the other partition last night so naturally it got rid of that.

Oh, and I'm partially blaming you for this (not that it's a bad thing): I started dabbling around in VB .Net a couple days ago. Some of it's really giving me a headache, I haven't tried anything like this in years.

Ah, no worries then. And welcome to the light!

If you are getting a headache you are doing something wrong. Try this: add a timer and a picture box (from the tool box) to a form. Then set the timer's enabled property to true, double click on it and paste the following code:

Code:

PictureBox1.Left = PictureBox1.Left + 10

And don't forget to set the picture's image property. If you get that working, you might be ready to write a plugin for Lucid Scribe?

Thanks, I have VB 2010 Express and something called SharpDevelop 4 that I haven't really messed with yet. I think I tried to move past the "newbie" stuff a little too quick.

I had a smiley face scrolling across the form with that code lol.

So does this thing work?

I downloaded today the program but when I want to install it(click run) it says it is not a valid win 32 application.. have a new laptop with win 7 on 32 byt.

problems for me too, only with version 3.1.4

Interesting. Please try this link: http://www.lucid-code.com/liquiddrea...Dream3.1.5.zip and let me know if it works.

you're the man! installed it and works just fine!

thanks

coder, wouldn't it be better if we can write our own characters objects, locations etc in the dream jurnal? I am writing it in romanian so it's a little wierd how it selects the words...also can I delete one word in the "objects" section? I wanted to move it to actions but because i am new to the touchpad i dropped it too soon.

Yes. It would be better and I will change it one day so you can create your own categories. And yes, you can just delete the entry in the "objects" section and create a new one in the "actions".

ok thanks

Great App!

Im also a programmer and I wrote some time ago an app simmilar to yours in Java, but much simpler. I wrote it cause i couldnt find at that time nothing worth using. I found that writing dreams on my laptop is far more faster than my hand writing. Plus you dont need no light ( or glases in my case : ) )
Only one thing missing in Liquid Dream in my opinion - an option to password protect account or chosen dreams.

Good job IAmCoder!

Thanks! I will consider adding password protection. All user data is stored in the user's Documents folder. So for now, if you create an extra Windows account they will be safe there. If you use "Switch User" instead of "Log Off", it should be faster to access it from your normal account.

hey man, i have a small sugestion. I should be able to merge 2 or more characters or objects or locations, etc. for example I have in one dream "dog" and in other "doggy". it is the same animal. without this the statistics will be ruined... also, can yo make us able to upload our own pictures for the dream? we can just get them from a site...

You can merge two category items; that is what the "Words" field is for. You can copy a picture you want to use and then right-click on the picture in the dream and select "Paste". But the sizing doesn't work very well yet for custom images - that is still on the drawing board, thanks for reminding me.

This program is amazing. However, I've got a couple of things where I've tagged something in more than one dream but (for example the character tag "brother") it only appears from one dream in the list for that kind of tag. The slice of the pie is equal to every 1 tag tag, and when I examine the the tag, it only shows the first dream I tagged it in.

Thank you! You can click on refresh or save on a tag to update it. It should then increase in the pie and have all the entries when you examine it. I will see if I can automate that in the next version whenever you save a dream that contains the tag.

If I have recommendations to make it is only this:

Ctrl + Backspace! It doesn't work inside Liquid Dream for some reason and simply creates a square character instead of erasing the previous word! I use ctrl+backspace as a habit and it makes it really annoying to type out the entry when I make a mistake
The exclusion of " as part of detected words and dream signs - for example I had water and "water in my list of words down the bottom.
And it could just be my computer, but while I'm typing the windows flashes as though it's re-drawing the entire text field - not quite sure on it but it's distracting.

As a whole the program is brilliant! I like it a lot

I have added the following code to handle Ctrl + Backspace according to your expectations and will include it in the next release.

Code:

if (keyData == (Keys.Control | Keys.Back))
        {
            SendKeys.SendWait("^+{LEFT}{BACKSPACE}");
            return true;
        }

You should be able to click on the " in the dream signs and add it to the ignore list?

I am not sure what is up with the flashing - I hope it is just your machine.
Is it the text box with the dream content? Can you try turning off the spell-check and let me know if it still persists?

I have an idea but I'm not sure if it would work or not.
Would it be possible to make a liquid dream iPhone app?

I think it would be very efficient. I have my iPhone next to me bed, and with me at all times so I can easily turn it on and write my dream. And if I remember later on its with me to write more.
I write them on my iPhone anyway and them transfer them into it.

I don't know about all the features but I think the best one for iPhone would be the dream journal that picks out common objects and stuff. (dream signs).
And an alarm with autosnooze would be good.

I just commissioned an Android version - if that works out for the best I will definitely make an iPhone version.

can you combine say an object and an action??
like say my friend josh always gets shot, could i combine the action shot with the character josh?
