After reconsideration, and a couple recent wicked dreams, I’ve decided to embark on a second attempt to document my dreams. This time, however, rather than write with as much detail as possible, which in my experience has led to the mutation of recollection, I’ll limit myself to a couple short sentences. Just enough to convey what I remember being very affected by. With any luck, the brevity of this documentation will evoke the undistorted images of the original dream in my mind, and if I’m really lucky, these vivid images will trigger recollection of the dream’s mood and subtleties, which cannot be written down. I’ll keep my dream notebook at arm’s reach from my bed and leave a dedicated ink pen on its cover. Location justification is that documentation accuracy is directly related to time since occurrence and I expect I’ll wake up during the night needing to write things down. Justification of ink pen trumping lead pencil is that when having half woken from an intense dream, I doubt I would have the energy required to leave a mark on paper with lead, whereas an ink pen requires less pressure.
