I don't write down every single dream I have but if there is something memorable about it or it includes a specific person I am most likely to write it down. So I have a collection of notes on my iPod with these dreams.
Basically if you were to open the notes on my iPod you would get a lot of stuff coming at you...random notes, fanfiction, dreams and the random rant about someone, also recently some YouTube related stuff. But literally that's the gist and I have had an iPod since 2010 so these notes have been going for four years.
The other night I had this sudden fear that I might lose my iPod and that I would lose four years worth of random iPod notes and I didn't want that to happen. I mean okay, normally people wouldn't think it's a big deal because normally things like that aren't important but they are to me.
Like...all that fanfiction? I like to keep. Mostly because a lot of it were ideas that I started but never finished and you never know when you might want to go back to it. Maybe one day I'll be able to create my own characters but with the same story lines. I mean everyone is doing that now.
So the other day I emailed myself every single fanfiction note I had made on my iPod and I printed it.
It took a long time because there was like 40 notes and things but I did it. Dated them all and put them in a ring binder. This seems very weird but over the years I have been writing fanfiction I have sometimes been writing on paper and not on my computer so I do have quite a lot of stuff that I have written and I like to keep it.
Mostly because computers can't always be that reliable and I have lost lots of fanfiction before due to a memory stick failure - luckily a lot of it was already online but I was still annoyed. Especially when some of the things weren't online or anywhere else so...yeah I like to have backups of everything now...well not everything but things like this.
Even though it's not that important like I could live without it but I don't want to.
Anyway enough about fanfiction the next biggest section of my iPod notes was dedicated to dreams. And I didn't know if I should just print them like my fanfiction so I decided it was better to write them down. So when I was on Amazon the other day I bought a notebook.
I always buy notebooks but then I never fill them with anything interesting but this would be the first notebook where I would actually put something in it that wasn't just random.
It arrived today - ta da!
It's super cute and it was hard to find any other nice notebooks on Amazon so this is what I went for.
So the first thing to do was copy all the dreams I have from my iPod to my notebook. And so I literally spent all day doing that while also watching Alfie Deyes a.k.a PointlessBlog on YouTube. A pretty productive day when it is raining outside and you have no job and your friends are all working or on holiday.
At this point I'd say I'm about halfway done but I never realised before just how many dreams I have recorded since 2012.
Plus I can't believe I remembered so much from my dreams. I mean I guess the more you write them down the more you are able to remember them but it's shocking how much I do remember.
While I was writing them down again I could vaguely picture what actually happened in the dream which is good. I mean this must mean my memory isn't all that bad.
Anyway yeah...I just thought I'd share that with you guys.
Do you have a dream journal? What kind of things do you dream about?
I would say the dreams I write down are only notable to me because the people in them are a main focus in my life at that point in time. Whether it be TV show characters or actual people I know. Normally they are the main focus of the dreams and those are the ones I feel I should remember.
But yeah...I definitely wouldn't go so far as to analyse the meaning behind them I mean when I look that stuff up on the internet it confuses me because how do you know what to categorise your dream as?
So yes. I guess that is everything. Bye. :P
