This is my dream journal.

When we sleep, memories of the day are processed, solidified and organized in some kind of relational database-like structure of associations.

I believe dreams contain interesting pieces of information that codify experience into the symbolic-mystical, a condensed form. Its meaning is obfuscated in such a way that it completely bypasses the rational thinking component of our minds and interface directly with the instinctive relational-assiciative component.

Dreams tend to be erased from the conscious mind immediately as we wake up. Occationally, the memory of the dream persists for a few seconds. If the memory is iterated upon, fed through and decoded our conscious parser and spit out again recoded, it tends to bind itself onto a more lasting medium of memory. These journals are my attwmpts at recodifying the brief memory of dreams at the few seconds after waking up, so that their meanings can be studied further.

Vivid imagination is allowed to flow freely and conjure up things that the waking mind never could.
