More proof — Dreams Make You Smarter

By Bobbie Ann Pimm August 17th, 2010, under Dreams, Sleep

National Geographic’s website has an interesting article on the effects of napping and dreaming.  Participants in a recent study showed a 40% improvement on creativity based word problems after taking a 90 minute nap which included a REM period. Nappers that had no REM period and those that didn’t take a nap showed no improvement.  See the full article here: Dreams Make You Smarter, More Creative, Studies Suggest

The movie, Inception, has everyone talking about their dreams — do you record your dreams?

By Bobbie Ann Pimm July 30th, 2010, under Dreams

There are probably as many ways to work with your dreams as there are dreamworkers.  The basic starting point for any method is recording the dream in a dream journal.  I’m curious as to how you record your dreams.

Are you new to dreamwork and just beginning to explore your dreams since you saw the movie, Inception? Or have you been doing it for some time now?

Do you have a specific format or layout you use? Do you use a particular method to work with your dreams (Ullman, Gongloff, Delaney?) so you record very specific aspects of the dream separate or aside from the dream report itself — characters, actions, settings, etc?

We’re usually limited to the size of the journal we use.  What would your ideal format look like?  How big would it be?

Do you personalize your journal? If so, how?

How long does it take you to fill up a journal — one month, six months, a year?

Do you use the same method(s) to work with your dreams – or are you always looking for something new?

I really want to know, as I am fleshing out an idea for a new book — please either reply to this post — or send an email directly to me. Your input is appreciated.

Happy Dreaming!
