Do you know about dream journals?

ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ You write down the dreams you had that day in a diary. Yes. While you still remember them. Because once you go outside, you'll forget everything. ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ At first, dreams are so eccentric and vague that it's just a hobby, but as you write, they mix with memories. Yes. My memories. The boundary between dream and memory becomes blurred. After all, you write a diary to remember, don't you? Recalling the details, writing them down—ah, can you see my face? Yes. My thoughts. ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

People often say you shouldn't keep a dream journal.

ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Why is it bad, you ask? You write a diary to remember. Recalling details, writing, organizing. In that process, your brain memorizes it. It's just like reviewing for your studies. And dreams vary from the bizarre to the mundane, right? For example, dreams of flying, dreams of being in unknown places, or familiar ones... dreams that overlap with past memories, dreams of family—yesterday was fun, wasn't it! ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

It's the familiar dreams that are the scariest.

ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Mother, father, siblings, friends—they are right beside me, talking to us. Shopping malls, schools, home. Your place of memories. Where have you been lately? Those things stay in your memory, don't they? And what happens when they stay in your memory... occasionally, when you bring it up like, "Oh, that happened, didn't it?" the other person says, "Huh? Did that really happen?" ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Ah... there's a chance they just don't remember, of course. Memories are hazy things, after all. ...But then, it happens again and again. "That happened, right?" "Did it?" "We all went there to play, didn't we?" "When was this?" "We didn't go." "What are you talking about?" ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

The conversation stops matching up.

ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Only then do you realize you can't distinguish between reality and dreams. Oh, that was just a dream... you think. You realize your own memories are mixed with dreams. You don't know what is a dream anymore. You won't be able to tell what is my memory either. ㅤ⠀​​ㅤㅤ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
