like a fish in the ocean

I used to have a dream journal back then in the beginning of experience project, I would study the themes I dreamt of and their meanings, making connections, I was interested in the human mind and the unconscious, still am, and taking that leap of almost twenty years ahead from then now I realize that it's been forever since I haven't used a dream journal, I did write one as a young woman and even woke up at night after a nightmare most often to write it down and not forget. I don't use a dream journal anymore because I don't need one, I navigate and swim through the themes that tell me about my unconscious, my emotional state, and other things I'm not willing to share as of today. I used to be a prolific dreamer, sleep deprivation hinders that ability and I miss that raw connection with myself.
