A dream forum... amazing, I'm glad I found this place !!

[Zone47]

Dreams have always fascinated me and I would try to remember some of the more bizarre dreams. The amazing thing is; they are so detailed just like real life. Somehow I have developed the ability to remember the tail end of a dream and then walk back through a dream taking mental notes. I then describe the best I can into a digital voice recorder all the details of the dream starting with the place, people I was with, the time, temperature, colors, events that were happening and there always seems to be some sort of odd struggle or hurdle to deal with. So, that's the hard part, trying to put a dream scene and then sequence and all the elements into words. Too much to list here for an opener post but I'm glad I found this place as nobody in real life wants to hear about your stupid dreams ... they think you're mental or something.

Welcome! Seems like it would be really interesting

That's really cool that you've been able to go back and catalogue your dreams like that!! It's so frustrated when you can't piece them together.

Oh man, that's a neat memory trick! For me, it took a ton of consistent practice to recall details, and only then certain dreams that feel like they *must* be remembered (so I speculate a motivational input/component to the experience). Would like to hear more about this tactic, how you stumbled upon it, and some detailing of it (an example please?). In any case, welcome to a place where you won't be judged mental unless you prove to be mental.
