Dream diary

do you keep a dream diary?
I don’t, because I remember my dreams. But I’m told it helps.

Can I tell you a story?

Might just post this in Forum because it’s important and true.

I had a friend who claimed he never dreamed at all. So I snuck into his room one night and watched for the REM (Rapid eye movement) that indicates a person is dreaming. I woke him up and asked, “What were you dreaming about”. He babbled for about five minutes before he realised what had happened. Then he said “Fuck you, fuck off”. But admitted the next day he had been dreaming. We were closer and further afterwards. You understand? He said nothing terrible or personal, just the fact that I had heard it.
Can we share our real dreams?
cheers,
Jess
