Keeping a dream journal?
    #15611687 -

Does anyone keep a dream journal?

Is there any benefit to this?

What's the purpose of writing down your dreams?

My friend was going on and on about how he keeps a dream journal, and he liked to look back on it.

I was thinking I'd start one, but sometimes I have some fucked up dreams I wouldn't want anyone to find it, and read them..

I was wondering if there was any purpose other than going back and being like "HAH! That was fuuuucked up!" to dream Journals?

:cheers:

I meant to post this in the pub, but I guess it's fine here.

:shrug:

This seems like a fitting place anyway.

Well, aside from just being able to look back on it later and think "ah, interesting" and "man that was a weird dream"..

When you write down your dreams it sends a message to your subconscious that your dreams are important to you - this will cause you to be more aware of your dreams - dreams will get more vivid and the chances of having a lucid dream go way way up.

I suppose also it could give you an appreciation a few years into the future looking back and seeing where your mind was at.

That's pretty sweet. I Lucid dream often ( about 2-3 times a month ) but it would be cool to have even more. I guess I'll start doing it.

I kind of want to skip the creepy ones though. Like this one dream I had of a girl I was hooking up with for real, in my dream she had a penis. I'd be afraid to write that down if it happened again.

Oh the shame.

Well since we are being honest. :lol:
I had this one dream where I was fucked up on LSD
and I went to my best friends house because the cops were chasing me
it was like alice in wonderland in his apartment, I was super huge and the furniture was wicked small, and as the cops were dragging me away, I asked if he'd kiss me before
I went off to jail.
and we kissed.

Aside from kissing my best friend, it was a pretty cool drug dream. :P

Keeping a dream journal will increase your dream recall, or ability to remember dreams. Having a stronger dream recall will increase the likelihood of becoming lucid while dreaming. Becoming proficient in lucid dreaming can also open the doors to out of body experiences and astral travel.

Upon waking, don't immediately get up or change positions, just stay in the same exact position and reflect back on any dreams you had/were having. This greatly increases one's ability to remember dreams. After anywhere between 5 - 10 minutes get up and record what the dream was about, then environment, any emotions, and the overall "feel" of the dream.

I've been half assing it lately and haven't been recording my dreams, but when I practiced regularly I could remember like 5 dreams a night all in vivid detail. I also had some interesting experiences with lucid dreaming. Pretty trippy stuff when you get into it.

i will write down dreams that seem to have some meaning. some people record what ever they're able to recollect. these are good for all the reasons that have been mentioned. dream journals are like keeping a diary of your own life, only here you're recording the interaction between your subconscious and idle upper conscious state. dreams can be the result of some bizarre subconscious fantasies or everyday life. you kissing your friend for instance. some psychologists might say that you are suppressing an underlying need. i'm not saying you're suppressing a gay or bi tendency, but i can't be ruled out either. or it could just symbolize he's very important to you.

in the past i used to lucid dream 6 or less times per year. not too long ago in the grand scheme of things i used hemi-sync CD's to help reprogram my subconscious mind. one of the incredible benefits was  that i went from LDing 6 times or less per year to 6-12 episodes each month. now when they occur i'm quickly aware i'm in this state and i now have complete control when they happen. i used hemi-sync CD's from the monroe institute. bob monroe was a true pioneer in the study of altered states of consciousness. he's dead now but a trustee board has been set up with members playing a role who will be their upcoming officers. they continue to do research. they offer a full line of CD packages depending what your goals are. the OBE packages are pretty expensive, but i intend at least one of them. they also offer retreats for those having a little difficulty applying it. connections between events can easily be made to relate to each other merely by the fact you can control them, it's in your hand tat t hat point. what's interesting to me is that they seem to a direct result of a subconscious state that being taken over by still idle higher level, your higher consciousness. you're in affect crossing back over the bridge from where you came from... i'm glad you decided to post this here...

i only do it when under extreme stress. once stressed i get insomnia and get little sleep. putting my dreams on paper helps deal with where they come from and how to move beyond the negativity. i lucid dream semi regularly and often wake tired from nocturnal activities.

don't force it, they will come and go depending on how much is going on in your life.

yeah i started one of these after having an incredibly vivid recurring dream,

i do reccomend this sort of thing as my dreams have been generally awesome recently, the real cookie is that they keep getting more and more erotic, ive been getting lots of dream action thanks to my journal.
