Dream Journals on the Net
After the rise of logging dream descriptions online, some dreamers recently started to also put drawings and other pictures online. You may find these inspiring.
Late 2006 Robin Whitmore started his online dream diary. He makes his drawings on paper with his eyes closed. After scanning the colors are inverted. The DreamDiary is currently also on display as a year long installation at the Dock, Carrick on Shannon, Ireland.
