I’ve been keeping a dream journal sporadically from 2009 now – lost two or three years worth of entries when my PC crashed a few weeks ago, since I hadn’t updated the backup in forever.

I’ve got some of the lost entries written down on paper though, so I’ll be able to restore some of it.

If you are going to keep a dream journal, be sure to keep something to write on (and with) close to your bed. If you want to remember the most of your dreams after waking up, don’t get up right away, but lay still and go over the dream in your head – then write it down on paper.
