“No corsets, no hatpins, and no crying.” Love it.

I am an avid dreamer. Think multiple dreams, usually with intricate details and loads of weirdness, and often remembered. Sometimes I’m an active character, other times I’m watching the dream unfold like a movie where I’m either the director and the audience.
I’ve had repeat dreams where I can control what the outcome will be based on previous knowledge, sort of like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. I’ve had dreams that were confusing, where I didn’t know how to do something…until I later remembered the dream when it happened in real life and realized I simply hadn’t learned what I needed to know yet.
What this all means is that I’ve wanted to start a dream journal for a long time, but it’s always seemed like too big of an undertaking. I knew it had to be on the list, a written reminder with accountability. When I saw this notebook, I laughed, bought it immediately, and started my first dream journal.
#16 on the Twenty-five To-dos (Year 28) list: Start a dream journal.
My husband likes to say that my dreams revolve around three themes: water, my hometown, and school. I’ve definitely seen those come up in the first few weeks of recording, but I’m curious to see what other themes surface as time goes on. If my dream-related tweets are any indication, nerdiness also runs rampant.
I dreamt I was Terminator Batman. Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds.
Sleepy. Dreamt about time travel. In desperate need of coffee. So really, a fairly typical morning.
I’m pretty sure last night was the first time I dreamt of an infographic #nerd
A surprise nap with Silent Hunter 4 in the background results in an inappropriately epic dream soundtrack. http://bit.ly/dyVRDM
Dreamt I was recruited to Hogwarts and had to pose with a broomstick for character trading cards. #notanerd
@petitemolly I’m surprised I never had Buffy induced nightmares. Just a lot of dreams of trying to fight vampires with a pencil.
Dreamt I was at an elite design & writing workshop designing typefaces with @typeis4lovers. Needless to say, it was awesome.
Best 5-minute snooze button dream in a while: a box of genetically engineered kittens with lamé fur.
Last night I dreamt I figured out Lost. It was epic.
I love when design students redesign the covers of classic books to offer new interpretations through beautiful color, typography, and illustration. Here are two projects from recent graduates of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
Jules Verne by Jim Tierney
