I remember some dreams really clearly, because I had time when I woke up to write them out in detail, but mostly I only have time to scribble out a couple of words, and then I forget everything not directly related to that couple of words.

What I also like to do is draw maps. Most of my dreams take place in one or more locations, or like in the case of Gillian's apartment. I usally draw overhead maps and then 3d details of rooms, because perhaps I might soon find out the significance of certain details.
