Where Do You Write Your Dreams?
Anonymous · 2015-11-07 17:39
I'm wondering where people write their dreams. I usually type it out half asleep in my phone and then transfer it onto paper later.
Sometimes when I'm too tired to do that, I tell myself to remember 3 words, but they usually don't make sense so it doesn't work ("cigars", "lines", "hand" but what does it mean???). Stupid tired me.
I have a notebook in which I try to draw some scenes of it, maybe color it, but then again the notebook is filled with other stuff like me writing in code (I made up) for pages about mushroom and plant life, meteorology, and other soykaf like card reading and alchemy. I also write poetry and that's shoved in some pages. I'm disorganized.

I just type them out on the notes app on my phone when I wake up. That's my private journal. I have a public dream blog where I post the ones worth sharing. I'd post the link if anyone's interested. Just didn't want to make it seem like I was plugging my site haha.

I sleep next to my computer, and I never turn it off so I end up just typing them out there.

I record them in my phone as soon as I wake up and write them down later in a notebook.
I'll transfer them to my computer as soon as I (or this lainon >>1568) code a dream manager.

>remembering FOUR dreams
I only get two and they're usually if I wake up and want to keep dreaming. Nice.

I've been considering using audio for my dreams, but I don't live alone yet so I'm wary of someone hearing my dreams. I might just whisper really quietly though. Has any lainons tried audio recording their dreams? If so how has it worked out?

Haven't tried that one yet but it sounds like a good idea. You could replay previous ones as you fall asleep and see if it has an effect on your dreams that night.
As for privacy, if you have a car, you can record your audio notes while driving alone or do it at a park.

I don't write my dreams down. I use the voice recorder function on my phone so I can mumble all the details that I can remember and then listen to it later.
It's very interesting. There's often things that I have absolutely no recollection of. Sometimes there's recordings I cannot remember making as well. Listening to the recordings only jogs my memory about half the time.

I don't live alone either. If I failed to record a dream immediately after waking up then I go to my car or just wait until I am alone in the house to record.
I also record my waifu's drug trip reports this way so privacy is essential.

This is a top idea! I'm tempted to start. I read somewhere that muscle movement of any kind after you wake up causes you to start forgetting your dreams (and it seems true in my case, even getting up to pee I'll forget something by the time I get back). This you could do without even rolling over in bed, just reaching for the nightstand.
