"Psychic Dreaming" by Loyd Auerbach has many good tips on remembering your dreams and even how to manipulate them at times (for instance, bad dreams and changing their outcomes). Also information on lucid dreaming (deep dreams that feel real). Since reading the book (years ago), I can be aware when I'm actually having them and "wake up" in the dream. It's very weird and something you would actually have to experience to understand. Also information on recording and remembering dreams..I big one for me was writing the dream down again in the current tense -- as if you're still having it (i.e. "I am walking down a path", not "I WAS walking down a path"). After trying that, I realized I could remember more details of my dream.
I have always written journals, but nothing is separated -- spiritual matter, dreams and daily life all run together. I can type much faster (as you said) and my husband can't understand for the life of him why I wouldn't want to use this handy device. I told him I've never lost a notebook in 30 years. The one time I tried to use the computer to write some poetry -- he ERASED it. It was accidental because he was clearing files. Computers only work if you're the only person on it and have a personal library of "back-up". I wasn't computer savvy enough to make back-ups at the time...I keep swearing that some day I'll REMEMBER what I wrote (it was in my head, after all?) Maybe I should use that dream technique to remember
.
I tried working on a separate book for just a BOS, but it looks "stuffy" -- lacking, as you said, doodles and side notes. I think I lose the "learning" of the journey without all the messiness. You really do see how much you grow when you record and then look back.
