Have you ever felt compelled to write down a particularly vivid dream?

[loves2learn]

I’ve had two in the past two days that have had me shook. Incredibly realistic and memorable. I didn’t write down yesterday’s about my husband but the one I had about my niece today had me shook. I wrote down as many details as I could remember. And there were a lot. It was so vivid.

Anyone else?

Not write down, but I do keep my phone next to my bed and if I have a really vivid dream, I narrate as much as I remember. I have no idea why I do that ¯\_(ッ)_/¯. I'm pretty good at remembering my dreams. but one of my therapist suggested I do that anyway, even though I remember pretty much all of my dreams just fine. It just sorta became a habit. I will say that I never go back and listen to them…. Maybe that would be an interesting exercise to go back and listen to dreams I had as a teenager.

For a powerful "exercise" you'd try to read and reimagine them throughout the day. Will lead to better dream recall and increased lucidity, and eventually spontaneous astral projections and stronger abilities of "working with the subconscious mind."

@Hаwk_Tuаh Wow thanks Hawk, I’ll try that.

I actually have a "dream journal" that I used to write in a lot because there was a period of time when I was having a lot of weird/vivid dreams. I don't remember my dreams nearly as often as I used to, but when I can remember a dream that I find interesting, I try to write down as many details as I can remember.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Not really, but I don't read much into dreams meaning anything..

To me a thought can pop into my head during the day when I'm awake and mean nothing, so why can't the same be said for a dream?

I try to keep a dream journal. I don't always have vivid dreams, but I believe it's really important to listen to what your subconscious is telling you.

[AviatorTom]

I did write down the details of a dream I had... many years ago. It was a good dream, not a nightmare. I didn't feel compelled to do it, just thought it was interesting.

[just_a_potato]

I keep a very loosely recorded dream journal in my notes. I don't update it much anymore, but if I ever have a significant or especially terrifying dream I put it in there. And shit do I have some crazy dreams in there.

[DryGermanGuy]

Not for dreams. But I would like to have something ready to write down plots or updates for my creative projects. It just happens too irregularly.

[Mark987]

I have had sleep paraylysis a few times in my life. Where my brain is awake and my body is asleep. It's where you're mind is awake and your body is asleep, and you can't move your body ( for me at least). Very crazy dreams

[avery58]

I have a dream tracker app, I keep track of almost all my dreams vivid or not.

[midnightmoon05]

Don’t really have the time. So now it is forgotten.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, I turned it into song lyrics.

[DancingQueen16]

Well once I did write down what happened in a dream I had in my notes app on my phone

[AydenHazor]

Related but not directly so. I've never actually remembered having dreamt, never mind being able to write down a dream.

[A_Nihilist]

I keep a dream journal.

I don't dream often, but when I do I remember every detail with exacting clarity.

[Anonymous]

Putting my dreams in a journal may mean jail time for me.


I am always naked in my dreams.


🤷‍♂️

[bowenw]

I usually forget them too quickly.

[DrPepper12]

My therapist has asked that I do.

[Staximus]

Yeah, sometimes I have crazy dreams

[SoJust]

No but this seems like a good idea

[Wiredone]

No I never bothered to write it down

[MrGTAB]

Not really, no.

[Charliefretz329]

Yes, I’ve had a lot of these recently

[Charliefretz329]

Super vivid and remembering every detail upon awakening

[msc545]

I have done that.

[paledreams]

Rarely

[Sabretooth]

[eagle1951]
