In the dream I had a few GREAT ideas, so, naturally, I wrote them down. When I have ideas in a dream and write them down, I find that about 75% of the time the ideas don’t make any sense in the full light of day.
I’ve heard that keeping a dream log helps with lucid dreaming. I’ve also heard that jotting down ideas helps one keep new ideas flowing. I’m in the habit of carrying a pen and small pad of paper at just about all times. Most outgoing e-mails from my phone consist of little notes to myself – half-baked ideas and whatnot.
This particular incident the other night was an amusing combination of the two – jotting down dreams and jotting down ideas.
Except, I jotted down my great ideas in my notebook in my dream. When I woke up I had no recollection of the ideas themselves, just that they were good enough to have written down.
Well, I thought it was funny anyhow. :)
