I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not going to make it by posting everyday for the next year. I almost forgot to practice writing today! Lucky for me, I did remember and now here I am typing away trying to fine tune this essential skill.
Dream logs are supposed to help you remember dreams better, but somehow I don't find writing immediately after you startle awake after a dream very unappealing. If you wake up in the middle of the night after dream isn't the first and only thing you want to do is go straight back to sleep? Wouldn't getting up and really putting your brain to work and recalling a memory going to wake you up some more? I guess the underlying issue for me is the fact that you have to write coherent thoughts while you're still in drowsy and disoriented. Keeping a dream log would be the ultimate training exercise for the writer in training, aka me. I should probably give it a go, but the fact that its hard for me to fall back asleep after I wake up makes it an unlikely feat.
