I am unconcerned with prettiness of language, and concentrate on getting down as much as I can, pinning down as many squirelly little dream-thoughts as possible.<br /> <br /> Frankly, I don&#8217;t try to make it coherent, just comprehensive. Maybe I will type up the latest one as an example.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/anxiety-dream#comment-328 2003-07-31T22:26:02+00:00 2003-07-31T22:26:02+00:00 <p>Is it hard to keep a dream journal? I keep thinking I should, but all my dreams that I&#8217;d want to write down are too overwhelmingly complicated to stomach getting the details of them down before I forget them, especially in the morning. How do you manage textual coherency on a difficult, abstract topic before your brain wakes up enough to lose the important knowledge of the topic? And what are you doing up at this hour, young lady?</p> Rock Star http://faerye.net/post/anxiety-dream#comment-326 2003-07-31T22:13:13+00:00 2003-07-31T22:13:13+00:00 <p>Frankly, a lot of mine don&#8217;t make sense. Well, except to me, and then just at the time. Oddly, some of those are the emotionally compelling ones that make it into the dream journal. Like recently, I had one - well, I wrote it in my dream journal - maybe I should type that entry into the blog, to do it justice.</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/anxiety-dream#comment-325 2003-07-31T21:33:59+00:00 2003-07-31T21:33:59+00:00 <p>My anxiety dreams tend to be more like psychedelic generalized persecution nightmares. In my last one, I was running between an endless progression of revolving glass restauraunts connected by catwalks trying to kill an invincible vampire while receiving text messages from the police. I think I would trade for one that made sense.</p> Rock Star
