Thread: How important is a dream journal?

Well, I hope that helped.

Hmm, i suppose that makes sense.

I also heard that it can help you identify when you are dreaming because you have familiarized yourself with the dreamstate by writing so many of them down.

Maybe i'll just get up earlier and write them down, i get up so early already that another half hour won't make much of a difference.

Well, that may be true for some people, but i still don't know any different when I dream i'm in my old highschool even though (in the dream) i know I'm in colledge. Guess it takes a bit of training, like RCs and stuff.

That's the spirit
