Yeah, I think everyone has different experiences ya know.
Yesterday I just bought a new notebook for a new dream journal and I had a false awakening so I went to write down what I just dreamt and saw that I had 2 entries in it already, I read them and decided that they were legit and seemed to actually remember them as dreams I had, I wrote a whole page on the dream I had, then went back to sleep.

Woke up later and my journal was of course empty, but I remembered some of what I read about the 2 dreams so I put those in.

I don't know if those 2 dreams were real and I remembered them in my dream or if I just read it....kinda confusing.

But anyways I was able to read and remember once I woke almost 2 pages. Of course if I re-read them and realized I was still dreaming they probably would have not made sense.
