Lucid Dream
After I read wikipedia’s entry about dream journal, I found a new lexicon. It is lucid dream. I don’t know what it means.
A lucid dream is a dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik (Willem) van Eeden (1860–1932).[1] In a lucid dream, the dreamer can actively participate in and manipulate imaginary experiences in the dream environment.[2] Lucid dreams can seem real and vivid.[3]
A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state, with no apparent lapse in consciousness.
I think this confusing concept. Just like watching Inception.
Dreamblog
I just read about dreamblog. So there are exist, blogger that use blog as dream diary. Therefore, Wikipedia have the entry about dreamblog.
A dream journal (or dream diary) is a journal in which dream experiences are recorded. A dream journal might include a record of nightly dreams, personal reflections and waking dream experiences. It is often used in the study of dreams and psychology. Dream journals are also used by people trying to lucid dream. They are also regarded as a useful catalyst for remembering dreams. The use of a dream diary was recommended by Ann Faraday in The Dream Game as an aid to memory and a way to preserve details, many of which are otherwise rapidly forgotten no matter how memorable the dream originally seemed.[1] The very act of recording a dream can have the effect of improving future dream recall. Keeping a dream journal conditions a person to view remembering dreams as important. Traditionally, dreams have been recorded in a paper journal (as text, drawings, paintings, etc.) or via an audio recording device (as narrative, music or imitations of other auditory experiences from the dream.) Now with the internet, many sites offer the ability to create a digital dream journal.
Not so long ago, I used to record my dream. To simplify, I draw everything that i could remember about my dream every morning. I did it because of some coincidence. I wake up in the morning because of a dream. You may call it “waking dream”. But after I wake up, there is series of events that is perfectly matched with what I saw in my “waking dream”. After that coincidence, I try to draw my dream. I thought that this is a ridiculous habit. But, I changed my thought after reading some psychological books about dream journal.
