Thread: DreamJournal 2.6 - free program for recording dreams

no

When I try to run the installer it says the application failed to initialize properly. Does this have to do with scripting maybe (my security settings on my computer)? I know the older version works on my comp is it still available for download, if we can't get the new one to work?

Edit: I love using that program for journalling and am about to get some more entries going for my journal on here.

Same question, anyone know where we can download the previous version?

Is there any reason why it has stopped publishing dreams? I get this error message when I click the "publish" button:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

The system cannot find the file specified.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Oh this is pretty awesome. I think I might convert from handwriting to this haha..

Cabletv, you should still do both. I use this method:
I jot down key factors and major events from my dream in a pad as soon as I wake. When I have time, I then read over the entry and recreate the story in DreamJournal. I think this is a great technique and you should definetly try it.

Thanks, Banhurt! Works like a charm now.

Not longer a free program? Mmm.

Wait, not free? What happens when the trial version expires? Do I need to make a backup now?

Guys.
Look at the damn date.

Meh, having to write my dreams on paper as soon as i wake up is hard enough, not to mention going downstaires to my computer. But i will give it a try, thanks.!

awesome dude thanks i hope this will be more simple than having to write them donw ( don't have time in the morning)

thanks! love the program.

How exactly do I use the tags. I now I can select the tags tab and create a new one. But then what. do I add tags to a dream or just use the tags tab as a dream sign list? Is there a tutorial page for this program? thanks for any help. Great program by the way.

Create tags with some sort of meaning. They mostly serve to organize/categorize your dreams or elements within dreams. Some potential tab groups:

Vivid/High Quality
Long
Device Failure
Reality Check Failure
Impossible Scenarios
Characters Acting Oddly
Self Acting Oddly
Nightmare

...etc. When you type up your dream, click the "tabs" button at the top and check any/all relevant tabs.

Is there a Linux version? Does this work on a dos emulator? I just recently switched to Linux...

There's a piece of software called WINE that supposedly runs .exe applications on Linux and Mac. The program's stability, though, seems to vary. As of yet, as far as I know, there isn't a linux version of the program.

Hey, just thought I'd clear some things up.

I did NOT have 480 points and 336 dreams in the 7 days, so everybody IGNORE my ranking there.

Simply put, I just had to reinstall DJ and had to add all my old dreams in - a really painful process.

My weekly/daily stats will be off and I ask you ignore those.

The points and lucid/non-lucid ration remain the same.

I have a slight suggestion to implement a scroll bar in the main window in order be able to view all the dreams in there not just 17(at least I have 17 last dreams it there, nevertheless it might depend on the screen resolution.

It's just a bit of rather easy work and probably an useful fix so please think it through.

Maybe an option to add "previous dreams." Where you can enter the number of lucids and non-lucids without affecting your 7-day or best day counts or anything. I have 336 dreams listed under one night cause I had to add them all one by one. I have counts but not dates and ILD types.

Not to be rude, but do you have an approximate amount of time it will take for the next update? I'm looking forward to being able to change my default font size.
