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.  :)

If that title look familiar, it’s because I’ve used it before. 1  I don’t remember much about it except that in this dream I lost my pseudo anonymity.

This post was sitting in draft form in WordPress for the last two months.  I have no recollection about this dream any more.  Oh well!  Losing my pseudo anonymity isn’t even that big a deal to me.  It’s funny to me now that I would even have a dream about such a thing.
