Thread: What is the best dream journal software??

The title says it all really. I'm looking for a nice piece of dream journaling software and I would like to know if you could recommend any. I am NOT paying for anything, so I would only like to know about free software (or software that I can get for free, for those who don't *cof*TORRENT*cof* understand me)

I am looking for one with some useful features, like different boxes for all the different things one should have in a dream journal.

Please reply quick!

Thanks

Notepad? XD
i use note pad and name the file with the date.

I used to use Microsoft Word. I would just type out what happened and put the date down. I can't really think of what else I would put down in a dream journal, really. I personally prefer to use a regular notepad or duotang, that way you can draw pictures if necessary (although I never do).

But if you're looking for a program, I'm afraid I can't help you. DreamViews does have it's own Dream Journal thing: http://dreamviews.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=26
It doesn't have to be public, either.

i used sumthing like online diary .com


go on google and type in online diary, i think its the first link, easy, login type, meep

Microsoft Word is quite fair. If you don't want anyone to read it... just name it with an unappealing name...

here... take a look at this article:

How to Make a Computer Diary

Do you want to keep a diary, but think it's too risky to write on paper? Well, this guide tells you how to make a top-secret diary on your computer!

Steps

1. Open Microsoft Word.
2. Click 'tools' then 'options'.
3. Choose 'security'.
4. Type your password in both boxes, then click 'ok.'
5. Decorate your new diary with pics and whatever else you want to use.
6. Type your entries, then change the font to something like 'wingdings' (or change the font color to white) and that way, even if someone guessed the password, they wouldn't be able to read it unless they changed the font.
7. After a year or two,you might like to protect yourself from a computer hacker or annoying sisters and brothers to stop trying to hack your computer diary files.Read how to make a [[How to Make a Password Protected File (for Microsoft Users) |Password Protected file as mentioned in the tips but this time even more security.

Alternate method

• If the above method doesn't work, try this

1. Open the document.
2. On the File menu, click Save As.
3. Click Options.
4. In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.
5. In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click OK.
6. Click Save.

Tips

• Choose a password you can remember, but that no one else can guess.
• Don't call the file "Diary", call it something boring like "Essay On French Revolution"
• There are also many great journaling applications (some are free such as Journler for Macs, see external links)
• If you want, you can even create a password protected folder to put it in. Check out How to Protect Folders With Passwords.

Warnings

• If you forget your password, you won't have access to your diary! Write your password down and keep it in a safe place.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Microsoft Word (or other word processing/journaling application) with password application
• A secret password!

Thanks for that privacy on Word (post above me)! It works great.
