    Sorry, I messed some code up when uploading files, it should work now.

    That's interesting, creating art in dreams.

    I love science fiction, even the really bad stuff. :)

    The link works for me now.

    I remember some of your earlier dreams that would make good fiction stories. I have those type of dreams once in a great while. I've kept a dream journal since around 1995. The ones in my journal here are the most recent ones. I think over the past few years I've lost my creative drive and the dreams reflect that, having more mundane scenarios. But once in a while...

    I relish the bizarre ones because they spark my imagination and make me realize that there's still some creative energy in there somewhere.

    I think that's' a good point, that not everyone is verbally oriented and for some people writing in a journal is more of a chore than a pleasure.

    I wonder if people who would prefer to use art or music to record their dreams would tend to have more visually vibrant or more musical dreams anyway?

    It's not so much that it's a chore as that it's time consuming.

    I started my logs in 1986 when I was working a night shift; and later switched to evenings. It was pretty easy to set up a routine that gave me several hours between waking and working, time enough to turn my notes into a legible and thorough story often including, as sort of a PS, some inner dialogue with one or more of the characters.

    Then, in 1991, I took a dayside job that started at 8AM. Even waking up at 3AM and 4AM did not give enough time and, in time, the logs closed.

    So many times I've wished I could draw! Paint! Some of the scenes, some of the people who'd be framed on the wall!

    Howdy um I will be taking dream people (with permission of course) and writing a story to them while trying to keep the feeling of the dream intact. I may publish them in a book. How do this sound for a title for a book: The Dream Chronicles. Please tell me this isn't taken or give me other great Ideas for a title
