I Have Weird Dreams

I could write novels based on my weird dreams. My brian subconsciously makes its own world with rules and laws and the type of development you would find in a fantasy book. sometimes if i’m aware of my dream i’m shocked by what it comes up with as if i’m not even the one controlling the outcome (which i technically am but it never feels like it). i also am surprised and amazed by the accurate continuity my dreams have. i sometimes wish i could stay in dream world cause i’m excited for the next part (as if it’s the next chapter in a book) only to be disappointed and wake up to reality :(
My dreams are mostly just random. I have a lot of them about exes. They're not unpleasant though.
Have you been writing them down?

@Cinnaman i really tried to have a dream journal but the requirements for that have me unmotivated to continue. it requires waking up right away and writing down ur dream as soon as u wake up. for someone who snoozes their alarm every five seconds and lies in bed for a while before getting the energy to get up, dream journaling doesn’t work :( it needs some discipline i lack unfortunately. i would love to be able to write my dreams down and remember them
@newdawnnewday I wonder if dictating them into a recording device would work? It might be easier to talk while you are still sleepy, than write.

Also, I'm a go-back-to-sleep kind of person too but I've had some success holding onto dreams long enough to write them down, or at least some interesting details. And the more you do it the more you'll get into the habit.

@Cinnaman yeah setting up that habit is the most important part. i go back to sleep as well and try to immerse myself into the dream again but it’s hit or miss at that point. sometimes it works and sometimes i’m left grasping onto a retreating world or repeating the scene i left off on bc i’m so hyperaware. it usually leaves me unsatisfied in the end.

when i try to write it down afterwards i can feel a lot of details slipping and i always try to catch them but it leaves me frustrated. ive never tried recording that may be a good idea. sometimes i tell my friends when i wake up and it helps me retain it a little longer.

Write them down and make money off of them.

@assemblingaknob i wish!! i never remember them tho :( just the feeling i got. sometimes i’ll have moments of flashbacks if something i do during the day reminds me of it. it’s like a nagging in the back of my head that i’ll never fix
