Ok, wow, I had no idea where else to post this, but check this. I was cleaning our (my boyfriends and mine) apartment the other day, and came across a little red book that on the front of it read "DREAM RECALL JOURNAL" and being the nosy girlfriend I am, I opened it up to read what it was about, he had a prologue type page that explained he wanted to remember his dreams, and he was going to write down what ever he remembered about his dreams. There were a lot of entries, dating back to June. And quite a lot of them were VERY detailed and descriptive, some were a page long, others 1/2 to 1/4 page long.

I am very curious as to the reason he is trying to remember his dreams, I asked him about it, but he got angry, and said now he feels that now I know a lot of his dreams, he doesn't have anything "for hiself" what ever that means. We got arguing that I was snooping where I shouldn't have been and all, and I know I should have read it.

I am just very curious as to why he writes his dreams down? He didn't really want to give me an answer (and I don't blame him). But knowing he's writinghis dreams down just pokes my curiosity even more, and I tried to leave it be, but it drives me crazy! Sorry this post was so long.

I would be crushed if I kept something private and my husband read it. His Dream Journal was private, as you know, you shouldn't have opened even the first page. If I write stuff down it is for memories or fantasies, those are private things, he shouldn't have to explain any of that to you. He wasn't doing anything wrong. So you shouldn't treat him as though. Are you upset that there wasn't anything about you or too much about you or what? He needed that, for HIMSELF "whatever that means." I am sure there are things you say to your girlfriends but never to him, it is the same with him, except he wrote them down cause these were PRIVATE thoughts... Don't make this anything it isn't.

I know, and I kind of feel bad about invading his privacy and stuff, but I'm not making it anything or accusing him of doing wrong. I was just wondering why someone would write their DREAMS down.

I would write them down, you know how dreams are sooo cool, whether thye are good or bad, they are pretty wild. So, he just wants to go that one step further and maybe dreams interest him more than they do you or I. It is the same for your thought, a journal is cool to look back into and see what happened a bit ago. Just cool really. Sounds like a cool guy, don't break any more trust... OK? Make sure he knows you are sorry sweet, I would hate for him to get really upset at you. Sorry you opened it! Hugs, Start

Thanks, I guess it was just one old entry that really made me... I don't know- uhh, never mind

Well, you want to talk about what it is that is bothering you about it? Are you OK? Iremember one time when my husband were just seeing each other, mind you that was 13 or 14 years ago, but still. I read this letter from a model girlfriend he had, and to me it sounded like they were really in love before I was in the picture. Well, you can only guess how that makes the "new" girl feel. So it was cool, we talked and the feelings faded about her. Come on, I told you and I already feel better. Let it go sweet, what is it?

Well, I'm sure its nothing being an old entry and all, but one entry said he had a dream he hit me with his car, and didn't even bother stopping, then latter went back to "hide her body" but took some of my DNA, and made a clone of me. I mean, I was shocked to read that, I didn't tell him I read that one, I said I only saw the first page. But its kind of disturbing, but then again he has NEVER been abusive in any way.

It was a dream sweety, I was mad at my husband for a week cause I had a dream of him (I was watching the whole thing) with a hot mama blonde girl and they were definitely getting down! I am not kidding it felt real. But it was a dream, it probably stunned him as much as you reading it. Just a dream. You know how they can be right?

hotcakesnsyrup · Sep 2, 2007, 07:38 PM

Still disturbing. I got to go

startover22 · Sep 2, 2007, 07:38 PM

Ok, hope it helped to talk. Bye!

Wow. Killer dream. No pun intended. Maybe it could be like, totally wishful thinking. Wait, I mean the cloning part. He like totally want to clone you, but needed a reason to, and with that on his mind it manifested into a dream. Stuff like that is so bizzarre! Dreams can make you go like woah! Any way, I'm sure uh, wait, aw man forgot what I was going to say, never mind, it'll come back.
