Are any of your dreams more than 'just dreams'??

[sahgwa]

Has anyone here ever kept a dream journal?

Because I was wondering if the deja vous feeling of "oh i had a dream about this!" was maybe some kind of retconn fill-in-the-blanks thing?

How would you know?

Perhaps that is why dreams slip away so easily, to leave a convenient blank to fill in.

Also, the thing with all the weird hats.

I keep a dream journal. Generally very brief, a few keywords to jog the memory, unless I have more time.
It really does help you to recall them at will upon waking. You are training you subconscious that hey, this is important to me, don't let it slip by until I record it. 
Similarly 'they' say, we all go OBE/ astral project when we sleep, the difference is, some people consciously remember it.
