Hey. Just introducing myself. I'm Crux, I'm 25yo from Iowa, USA. I've long been fascinated by my dreams and the crazy things my mind comes up with. I've only recently been keeping a journal (past 2 years), but nothing really hardcore, only when I have an exceptionally vivid and amazing dream. That is until I found this site and read about LD's. I've considered it before, being able to control my dreams, but never really given it much thought or dedication.

I've tried a few different recording method's, most were just after I was at work, I'd type it out, but I'd often forget a lot of detail by that time. So then I tried a small recording device but found talking a dream out is way more difficult then I had intended! Pen and paper I always figured would just be a horrible idea because I write bad enough when I'm fully awake and have light lol! What I finally settled on works out pretty well. I just keep a netbook (read: very small laptop) next to my bed, and have an open notepad ready to go and just put my laptop to sleep. I've been doing this for about a week now and I'm pleased with the results I've had. Weekends I seem to have and remember more than during the week due to not getting as much sleep due to work and the like. But my dream recall rate has been amazing.

BTW, if you want an awesome organization method for your e-dream journal, I found tiddlywiki to be an excellent method for that. Simple, neat, and fully customizable since it's basically just a blank HTML page that you build up from yourself. You can google it if interested. Here's a pic of mine after I customized it a little and got it going how I liked:



Well, this is getting long, I was going to post the odd dream I had last night, but I think I'll just start a journal thread. Meet me there!
