Dream fragments... GRRRR!!

recording dream fragments is so frustrating, I usualy have good dream recall, but sometimes I get into a slup where I only remmber fragments from each dream, and recording them in my DJ, makes me so mad, that I start getting disscoraged :grrr: . Id rather not even record them, because I loose confidents in recalling my dreams, and it makes it harder to recall, because the feeling of frustration is a mental block :help: Does anyone else have this problem?

It also happens to me some times, especially if I’m dreaming more than once a night. Just write down the fragments as you would write down a “usual” dream, maybe you’ll remember the rest during the next day. And if you won’t - you’ve still got the fragments, which might tell you something about your dreams. Sometimes even these small fragments contain symbols or images which will reoccur in your dreams.

I dont think its really that importent to remmber a whole dream every night. Ive had plenty of long LDs, that I remmber. Some nights I remmber whole dreams, and some nights I dont. I think as long as you practice LDing. (Keeping a DJ, RCs, WILD, MILD, and what ever else) You will be sucsecfull. If you cant remmber a whole dream everynight its OK (Or atleast it is for me) I mean I still get plenty of LDs.

Of corse Im just saying that to ease my frustration. :sad:

Yeah, don’t skip on recording them…just mark it down like
“Dream Fragment: something about King Kong in pajamas”
for example. Everything you can remember is like a clue to the big puzzle, and you may eventually begin to see patterns as you look back through your journal.

Witty example, lol.

When I get a fragment, sometimes what I like to do is write a story around the idea that my subconcious presented me. Then, after messing around a bit with it, “creative writing”, I suppose, sometimes I’d actually remember the dream. Takes a while though, and anytime other than the summer I probably wouldn’t do it.

If you think frags are frustating, wait for when you have nights with 0 recall :cry:

My DJ is full of fragments. Its better to focus on the positive side - you are remembering part of the dream world.

Every step is forward. :smile:

Ive decided to get a diffrent note book for recording fragments, because I want to use my DJ for whole dreams. Atleast this way it want seem so bad when looking through my DJ.
