A couple of years ago I was writing a dream journal and was very dedicated to it. I remember dreaming the weirdest stuff back then such as the decline of the law of gravity, flying, turning into a mermaid and so on. I think the writing helped me both at dreaming more interesting and unusual things aswell as remembering the dreams very vividly in the morning. I never got to the point where I could control my dreams, but I just got a feeling I should try again.
