Dream Journalling
May. 10th, 2010 02:04 pmI am notoriously bad at Dream Journalling. I have been trying to work out what is stopping me exactly, and I have come to an interesting conclusion. I have really really bad eyesight. My glasses sit on the bedside table, and if they are moved in the night, or not put in the same place as normal, I can't see them to know where they are.
However, to see a pen and something to write on, I have to put my glasses on to see them. And the very act of putting my glasses on, signals to my brain that I need to wake up. (Whether it be to get up in the morning, or deal with the night-issues of children and pets.) So the very act of writing means that I have woken up past that state of coherantly remembering my dream properly.
The only other option is to get a mini recorder and talk into that. But would that disturb the Other Half as he sleeps? Dream Journalling is something that I want to get into properly, so I may give it ago.
Actually my mobile phone has a voice recorder on it. Doh! Well, that saves me some money!
