Dream journal trouble

Quest for Lucidity
1

I hear that making a dream journal is a useful way to remember your dreams, help you have lucid dreams, and help you recognise dream signs. For me, there are problems which get in my way.

  1. I sleep in the top bunk of a bunkbed, so I cannot have a dream journal or a lamp right by my bed.

  2. If I wake up from a dream late at night, I am afraid that if I turn on a light and start writing in my dream journal, one of my parents might get up to go to the bathroom and see the light, then get angry that I am up so late.

3)This problem is only temporary, but it is still bad. For the next two weeks, my brother will be sleeping in my room. I don’t want to wake him up, so I will have to leave my room to update my dream journal. By the time I begin writing, I might have lost some of the memories of my dream.

I used to go to the bathroom to scribble down the dreams … now I use a torch so I don’t need to leave the bed :tongue:
just spend a little time consolidating it in your memory before leaving the room to write it down.

If this problem is just temporary, then wait for a few weeks until you begin your dream journal.

If you have a small torch you can keep it with your dream journal underneath your pillow. Hence, if you wake up in the middle of the night, you can easily write them down without ever having to leave your bed. Also, writing down your dreams normally doesn’t make a lot sound so imo there’s not much chance of waking up your brother. Just my idea :smile:
