I made a dream journal

[Comatoast]

Do you think it will do well? If it fades into obscurity I don't mind. It's very bizarre and indirect and it's moreso a personal project but it would be a little silly if people became interested in whatever strange thoughts my brain came up with while I sleep.

I do a dream a journal. I just use google docs on my phone. I remember most dreams when I wake up, but unless it’s a funny/interesting dream, or something that could inspire writing I won’t write it down, and just let it fade into obscurity

It seems like a cool idea on paper but it definitely does make you start to think what's a banger in terms of dreams?

I remember one of the most prominent dreams I had within the last two years was one where I practically had a feature-length film playing as a dream. Some organized thieves were trying to locate buried treasure so they kidnapped a local from the town nearby to navigate the map, who'd just lost his girlfriend to the monster on the mountain. The monster keeps attacking them and killing them one by one, a sort of werewolf kind of creature. Eventually, the entire thing was narrated by the local from the town, the local realizes the mountain is projecting an image of his inner violence as it turned out the depression he was in over mourning his girlfriend was actually him just mourning his relationship with her as they broke up. He had imagined the entire encounter with the monster killing her, as he had gone into the mountains before hand to die. He finds the treasure himself and heads back to the town with closure and a newfound appreciation for life as the monster disappears in the background.

That's crazy, I had a dream about a pig headed snake telling me to go tell my music director to name his son Ahmud which supposedly meant "Child of the awesome God." ?

Man - wish I could remember more details of some of my dreams (some I kind of want to forget).

Had one strange dream where something was chasing me and I somehow ran INSIDE a newspaper, with it pursuing me between text rows and even into the comics section where I tried to find help but everyone was stationary and ignored me, until I got shunted off into the TV in an episode of The Simpsons, and they distracted whatever was chasing me and I escaped back into the real world (and woke up).

Had my "controller" dreams - dreams where, instead of a character in them I'm the little "angel or devil" on the shoulder of the character, giving advice that the main character sometimes follows, sometimes ignores. The first time it was like a color version of a Hitchcock movie I'd just seen (Suspicion, I think but not sure now), and I was advising the male lead on how to woo the female lead (not that he needed the advice but we seemed to avoid some of the pitfalls of the movie but I woke up just as they were discussing marriage). Second time I was advising someone back in my old middle school, who was attending, of all things, a comic book show in the gym, when an earthquake hit and I woke up while trying to help him get to safety.

Do it as a self-reflection exercise. It can help you to better understand your own feelings, desires, traumas, whatever you need to do to move forward in life.
