Does anyone keep a physical diary for dreams? I usually write my dreams on my phone first thing when I wake up. But now I have this nice book and I wanna use that instead.

Pros
-Draw images of locations, maybe characters in dreams
-It's neat

Cons
-Slow
-Can't revise so easy
-Someone can easily peer into your unstable psyche


What are your experiences with journaling? Any tips?

 No.2778

If the concept of drawing your dreams and it being neat appeals to you then just do that, the cons are all negatable/non-issues after you adapt. I think the slowness of writing compared to typing is beneficial in terms of actually remembering your dreams and also can be more easily turned into a routine or ritual if you will which would further strengthen your dream recollection.

I'd like to start a thread serving as an online dream journal and then make a story out of everyone's posts, but I haven't gotten any dreams recently or I don't remember them, so maybe sometime soon.

respectfully, dreams rarely make for good narratives to anyone other than the dreamer

used to, but I eventually just forgot to keep updating it. Had a similar experience with a regular journal. It's hard to find the motivation to do things with consistency, so usually I just write stuff down on the notes app on my phone when something hits particularly hard

Why you are never but NEVER supposed to use a toilet in a dream? How actually dangerous they are?

the only case I have personal experience with toilets is a dream a year ago where I was in a kimono and pissed in a Japanese toilet and woke up all 'wet'. I dunno what else to say, but it made me question my psyche very much.

I use to be interested in guro. violence, self-no-no and whatever. My dreams reflected this, in one I was at some sort of family event. I got a steak knife and slowly sawed through my arm. I remember taking great pleasure in seeing the detail in my arm, the bones, veins.

I could understand why I had a dream like that, but honestly it's still weird as hell

 No.2791

I have gruesome gore filled dreams but they don't feel negative or painful. Like I had a dream where God opened up my body and hit me with a beam of light. I could see raw flesh and blood but it wasn't bloody. Then I begun to slowly melt and became one with the universe or something and a girl in a white dress came behind me and begun stabbing me with this dagger made of a beam of light. It felt like it hurt but was blissful at the same time.

I have PTSD and have to take medicine (prazosin) to prevent night terrors like those. When I don't take my medicine, I often have dreams of me getting killed gruesomely by people I trust, getting humiliated in various ways, or natural disasters/government actions leading to my death. I also have dreams of getting broken up with or cheated on horribly, sometimes when I am not even currently in an relationship at that moment.
I would honestly check the same for you, either through therapist or doctor who can help you with this. Night terrors are no fun, especially when you wake up in cold sweats or your sleeping habits are disrupted badly. It can be very detrimental to both your physical and mental health.

Lucid dreams are a fantasy world that I retreat into, as the fantasy world is far more interesting than the real world. In real life, I got the nickname Ladybug (which even my parents call me) as a child because I always painted ladybugs on my cheeks (and I still sometimes do). While I work multiple highly unusual jobs in real life, I am always Ladybug in real life. In my lucid dreams, however, I often take on wild alter-egos, including circus acrobat Butterfly (with butterflies painted on my cheeks), intergalactic bounty hunter Dragonfly (with dragonflies painted on my cheeks), Medieval witch Moth (with moths painted on my cheeks), prehistoric cave-woman Firefly (with fireflies painted on my cheeks), WWI fighter pilot Lovebug (with lovebugs painted on my cheeks), superhero Bumblebee (with bumblebees painted on my cheeks), supervillain Wasp (with wasps painted on my cheeks), vampire slayer Doodlebug (with doodlebugs painted on my cheeks), and over-the-top, guitar-smashing rock star Junebug (with junebugs painted on my cheeks).

When I am myself (Ladybug) in lucid dreams, I often fly with ladybug wings through incredibly surreal environments (although, more recently, my lucid dreams have become increasingly dark, violent, and sinister, and my non-lucid dreams have followed suit).

It goes without saying that all of these lucid dreaming personas are wildly fantastical ones that could never manifest in real life. My circus acrobat persona Butterfly is the only one that has any basis in reality, as I grew up in a family of traveling carnies. However, I could never be a circus acrobat in real life. As a result of an extremely overactive pituitary gland, I am incredibly tall (I'm 7'2''), I have an enormously stocky, broad-shouldered frame, I have M cup breasts, and I wear women's size 24 shoes. Nobody would even be willing to let me ATTEMPT acrobatics. However, I should say that, when I take on these personas in my dreams, I still have the same body that I do in real life - but the rules of real-world physics, obviously, don't apply in dreams.

I sometimes also take on these personas in non-lucid dreams, although not as frequently.

Does anyone else have any recurring personas that they take on in their lucid dreams? What about in non-lucid dreams?

Codeine consistently puts me in a semi-lucid state, where I'm aware that I'm almost fully asleep, and aware of where I am, but am still seeing random imagery and feeling random sensations somewhat passively. It's actually really pleasant, like drifting away.

You dream more off of it, but they're hard to remember. The sleep was good though.

k so.

this was fucking ages ago

but its one of the very few nightmares i rember.

so in this dream im playing some shitty hidden-object side scrolling flash game, with like a goofy hallowe'en theme. yknow, like pumpins and sheet ghosts and shit. and its running on a nasty old early 2000s lcd monitor. so the gay little bastard im controlling with my mouse collects 18/19 hallowe'en thingies, and i click at the edge of the screen. and suddenly, im on a screen that, in the dream, i've seen before, with two scarecrows made out of brown raster fabric, one of which is falling over on its rotten wood pole.

almost immediately after i load in the screen, though, the upright scarecrow starts flashing a myriad of different colours and fractals pegin to permeate its shitty clipart texture, stretching infinitely inwards to the point where the shitty lcd monitor shouldnt be able to display them but it does.

and the weirdest thing about it is? it gave me such an unimaginable sense of terror that i almost immediately woke up

pic is a shitty mockup but its close enough i guess

sorry if this posts sucks mad ass lol, im a newfag and have barely touched imageboards so dont really know the etiquette beyond whats listed in the rules please be nice

Hey Uboachan, what's the best environment/conditions you have dreams in?

I usually find I can't have dreams if I'm not at home or if I've just read something before I've slept.

my dreams depend on time- if i fall asleep at a reasonable hour, i usually never have any dreams, and if i do, they're always very hazy. if i fall asleep at, like, 3:00 AM, i'm guaranteed to dream about something strange, and it always immediately leaves my head as soon as i wake up. there's a sweet spot where, at a certain hour, the locations of my dreams begin to recur, forming a sort of dream-world. these dreams are usually incredibly vivid. the human mind is fascinating!

I have noticed that the best way to have a dream (or even lucid dreams or OBEs) is to go to sleep and set an alarm after about ~3-4 hours. I think the reason why this works is that it's harder to remember your dreams if you are too tired but you still need to be somewhat tired. I have also heard that meditating regularly can increase the amount of dreams you remember.

I onetime spent like 4-5 hours in VR just exploring different worlds with my friend, and ended up going to sleep right after. My dream ended being the same thing but like x10. Everywhere felt like an environment in Yume Nikki. Only problem was I wasn't lucid dreaming so I didn't realize how cool it was.

Staying up 24+ hours used to give me long feeling or multiple dreams, but I noticed short naps give vivid ones too.
They both put you into REM mode apparently, so that makes sense.
