@tom super late advice, but start at the end, then dig deeper for the earlier parts! that generally helps in my experience
@Thaminga oh yeah that's what i usually do! problem was that i didn't start immediately and that i had already read a couple of posts and stuff
@tom oh nooooo
yeah that'll fuck it up unless it was like *incredibly* vivid
@tom I've never ended up digging up stuff from other dreams trying to remember stuff a while after the fact myself, I do find myself manually having to fill in the blanks p much though
@Thaminga it's always stuff from other dreams i've also made a conscious effort to remember
@tom *nods!* yeah, journaling this stuff in general is just hard and there's no real solution to that other than "do it immediately after you have a dream you want to keep"
@Thaminga i usually go by "feel" if that makes sense? like i always have a general idea of what a dream felt like on a very abstract level so i try remembering things until i have something that matches that and sometimes i'll remember stuff from dreams i've had in the past that felt similar
