Dream books

Post Reply New Topic

Asimov's short story "Dreaming Is a Private Thing" deals with professional dreamers whose dreams are recorded for the entertainment of others, as did one episode of the TV show "Max Headroom". I have no doubt that if such a technology were invented, it would immediately be used by the Thought Police.

feel free to comment. I don't record all of them, only the ones I remember enough of or think make enough sense to record.

I love talking about dreams!

I keep a dream journal (in a word document, although some end up in notebooks because I've slept somewhere where I didn't have access to the document), and had no idea so many others did (maybe it's an Aspie thing?!). I can't record every dream I have, sadly, due to how much time it would take and also sometimes I just can't be bothered, and sometimes dreams seem really disturbing and I want to forget them or find it difficult to write them down because they disturb me.

I do try to 'interpret' my dreams sometimes, but I don't really believe they tell me anything I don't already know. I just try to figure out where different bits of the dream came from - sometimes they can be like very interesting metaphors. Sometimes something really disturbing in a dream can come from something really ordinary in reality and vice versa! Some dreams I have are really odd in the sense that I have no idea why I dreamt them at all.

I described a good deal of the products of my nocturnal imagination in one thread about dreams in here and now I only need to copy them into my dream book too – they definitively don’t deserve falling into oblivion.

I do!

I haven't updated it in a long time though =/ But I remember all my dreams very vividly.

I still keep it and I'll for my whole life. I wish I started it half my life earlier, I'd have had so much interesting material so far. Recently I don't have too many dreams so instead, I recalled some dreams from the past I had and wrote them down in it. My dream diary is a small diary with three colored pages (violet, pink and blue) excreting a nice smell and an orange cover with a girl holding a shopping bag on. It looks like this kind of diary a girl from elementary school could keep. My last dream recorded in it is about JM Barrie who was given a task to draw a series of paintings on Neverland.

Whoah. If I have a dream like that, I hope I wake up in a hurry.

I also had once a creepy dream in which John Paul II gave me an autograph on a dirty, used hygienic pad

lol, that's priceless.

Ah, and speaking of weird and disgusting dreams, once, somewhere in 1995, I also had one in which in our neighbors' flat someone died and when the door was open, the odor of the putrifying corpse was so bad that I started to choke and when I woke up, I couldn't catch my breath for a moment.

I kept a dream book for the longest time, between 1994 and 1998.

This night in turn, I had a dream on a nobleman - a time traveller from the 17th century who visited me and we were talking about the times we came from: I was describing digital cameras to him and he was telling me about the methods of abortion used back then

I started to but quickly fell into not updating it nearly as often as I could. For one thing, I remember the most details directly after waking, but I almost always wake up two or three (or sometimes more) times a night, and my ability to get back to sleep relies pretty heavily on not doing much that will wake me. So then by the time I wake up the last time, I only remember bits and pieces that don't make much sense. The ones I do seem to remember the most, unfortunately, are nightmares, and I'm hesitant to write those down in case it will make them more common. (I don't actually know if it would or not.)

Recently I had one great dream about me being a caretaker for Those Who Must Be Kept from Anne Rice's novels. In this dream we hid in a mausoleum from one graveyard in my town.

I have one journal where I keep a log of my dreams and my Tarot Readings and everyday happenings. I have another one that I use for taking notes of different things on the Internet or radio or reading in a book, words and phrases that I liked, ideas that I think of, when I pay a bill, I make a note of that and the details in my note journal. When I start writing a story, I keep a journal about everything that relates to the story I'm writing. So right now I have three journals I'm writing in and one I record my dreams.

That video about recording people's dreams is fascinating, thanks for posting it, Knowledgeiskey.

I recently didn't write down any dreams - I didn't feel like doing this, so many dreams are lost forever.
