Dear Diary,

Logged on to CreateDebate again. Said some pointless shit and acted like an asshole. I logged off briefly to go take a bathroom selfie and get my mom to fix me a PB&J;... then I logged back on and the cycle repeated about three more times after that, until I fell asleep in my beanbag chair, covered in drool.

Sincerely,

Intangible

Well, since I'm drunk all the time and frequently black out, I suppose if I had a journal at least I could go back and find out just exactly what I did the day before.

There is in keeping a food or dream diary or journal but not a regular one where you just chronicle your life.

I forget like 90% of what my dream was about after I wake up. My dream diary would suck lol.

That is part of the idea of having one so you can remember dreams even more if you start writing them down. I am trying to lucid dream so I am going to start using one.

I mean I forget the majority of the dream right after I wake up... like as soon as I open my eyes.

I tried lucid dreaming a few times. There are supposed to be certain binaural beats that can trigger them... but I didn't have much luck. I'd get to a certain point and think, "ah yeah... here it comes. Lucid dream time!", and then I'd end up being too excited and unable to relax.

In my experience, it's much better to realize that you are dreaming instead of going straight from wakefulness into a lucid dream. To be able to recognize that you are dreaming you need to get into a habit of making reality checks while awake. Things like turning a light switch on and off alledgedly doesn't have any effect while you dream, so if you get a habit of doing that during the day, you might start doing it while you dream as well.

Lucid dreaming. That's the one where you are conscious in your dream right? Or you are fully aware and can make decisions? I do it all the time. Swear that everybody can do it.

I think, I think that I posted a comment in reply to Nebeling on lucid dreaming several months ago.

Reality checks (eg counting fingers) and rubbing your hands together (makes things snap into clarity, dreams will no longer have that vague fogginess!) are really useful.

Also, if your dream is fading, spin around in a circle and try to imagine where you want your dream to be!

I use it to record things that I dont want to forget. Sooner or later, you will wish you have something to remind you that you are alive and you wasted your time over pointless things

most people who keep diaries are more capable of keeping secrets. until the diary is discovered anyway.

but its a great thing to do, to maintain a journal. and not everybody can do it.

Yes, I have one and write in it when I need to get things out of my mind and onto paper. It really helps!

From my perspective, no. I just don't see the point of writing something down if it won't be useful. This is of course assuming that you use a diary/journal to record your life.

not really... if you decide to write a lot of hateful sh!t in it or other secrets that no one knows about and other stuff that others may find disturbing then I say keep that in your head, in your thoughts hidden from others that no one will find. because if someone did then your fucked. anyways this is the worst comment but I don't care :)

I don't have anywhere near the amount of time I wish I had to do what I want to do, let alone use up even more time writing about things I already did.

Life is short. It amazes me the way people fritter it away....like people who win the lottery, but keep working because they don't have anything else to do....I hate those people.
