I try to do this myself when I have a dream or nightmare that I don't want to forget. Mine has nothing to do with anyone but myself, at least for the most part. It's a great way to end a day as well... take a pad, notebook, or phone and jot down all ideas floating in your head as you lie down to sleep.
If you do this as a way to decompress and release the ideas from your brain to tackle the next day, you will find that you are able to fall asleep much easier.
Exactly. It takes real discipline to do this, but the reward for doing it outweighs the stress and time.
Thank you for your comment, and I'd love to see what you think out next.
You should peruse some of my stories that I've written... some come directly from dreams and nightmares. One of my more recent set of posts (a 3-Part Story) comes directly from a nightmare that my wife had a few weeks back. I've been told it's super-creepy and horrifying, but I don't think the story's that far.
I'd love to have a look.
Can you share the link?
Thanks.
Certainly. Here are the 3 links to my 3-Part Story:

You can always look through my other works and comment if you wish, even if they've already matured past payout. I recommend my Fairy Tale flips (I flip old stories on their heads). Here are 3:

You may get a kick out of them... and I'll be writing more as soon as I'm done with my 100-Poems-in-30-Days challenge that I've set for myself.
