dream detours

I've recently (actually 2 nights ago) started keeping a dream log.

I think it's true that people remember the things they want to remember. I never really took note of my dreams, so I just took it that I never dreamt. But once I decided to keep a dream log, I feel that my brain will consciously (try to) remember my dreams.

Another strange thing though. I never realised that emotions in dreams are real.
