Dream journals are how we personally record our dreams to remember forever. For a lot of dreams I find just reading some basic details can help me remember the rest of the dream as it happened, but the way you write your dreams is the only way other people will ever be able to properly experience them. In that regard, the way you actually write the dream actually can make a difference! And the way we write our dreams sort of reflects how we view our dreams in the first place. So… let’s discuss how we write our DJ’s!
I’ve noticed that most people who write their dream journals (in English, anyway) tend to write their dreams in first-person present tense. (For example: “I am in a car. I get out and close the door behind me. I then enter my house.”) This is different from standard narratives, usually written in past tense. When I think of how present tense used in writing normally, I usually think of either dream recall or “roleplayer voice” (For example: “I put on my robe and wizard hat. I cast Lvl. 3 Lucid Vibes. I meditate to regain my mana.”), although I think it’s becoming more common in narrative. Still, the standard first-person present tense definitely has a dreamy feel to it. Like you’re recalling some otherworldly experience. Anyway, do you write in this same style? Do you not, and if so, why?
As for me, I’ve actually consciously made decisions about how I want to write up my dreams. Initially, I used to write in the standard present tense that felt natural to write in, but I eventually found writing all my dreams like this was sometimes difficult. By my second dream journal thread on LD4all, I switched to writing in first-person past tense, so I could write the dreams more like stories than experiences. Initially I also used to not use a lot of detail. For example, I’d just say I dreamt of an “anime character” rather than specify the character’s name. After all, if anyone was reading the dream, they probably didn’t know who that even was. However, I’ve switched to including more details in my dreams now, since I want to preserve as many details as possible. Also because in a creative writing class I took in high school, my teacher said that weird, specific details were more interesting than generic descriptions. 
I am still aware of the fact that people can and maybe even will read my dreams, so I try hard to keep them up to squeaky clean forum standards. I know that DJ entries are kind of exempt from rules but for my own sake I’d like to keep the entries as clean as possible. If some memorable R-18 event happens, I’ll of course write that part out and just not post it later. Also any profanity I usually try to preserve, even if the forum does censor it. For more minor events that just involve a dirty word for description, I try to have some fun with it and use a funny sounding euphemism or otherwise deliver it in a lighthearted tone to match the rest of my DJ’s “voice”. 
I stopped titling my dreams a few years ago, since I felt like coming up with special titles was becoming more and more difficult. I was giving my dreams some pretty generic titles, so I switched to just date-based ID’s for most of my dreams. I do give some dreams additional titles, usually quotes from songs or other media I enjoy. In addition, I now give all my single DJ posts “alt text”, which is just additional text in the post topic title. It’s typically a little joke that makes sense once you read all the dreams. Also each post now has Japanese date markers to specify the day of the post in Japanese… because it gives my DJ some Japanese flair or something.
One last note I can think of about my DJ’s style is that I start off almost all dreams with the same basic template: “I was _____!”. This actually started off unintentionally… I just happened to start a lot of dreams with something like “I was at school” to establish the setting. There’s actually a period of time in my third DJ topic where I noticed my habit and stopped starting my dreams like that. Eventually though, I decided to own it and felt like it could add a bit of structure and voice to my DJ entries. That’s when I started using the exclamation point. These days, I’m upset when my recall gets hazy and I actually can’t start my dreams this way.
I think that’s about it when it comes to my own DJ. Hopefully you have something to share about how you write your DJ entries! 
but I seem to have discontinued this and add them more rarely now.
