Does the habit of recording our dreams help us to remember them better?
This morning in my dream my wife and I were in a new place, an Air Force base, and she needed to find where to meet a bus. She was certain she had the street name, and knew about where it was, yet we meandered about at length looking for it. Finally, after wandering about for a very long time, I located a publicly posted map of the base, which showed that we were on the opposite side of the grounds from where we needed to be. Also, the "street name" turned out to be more of a place name, and near the outset of our search we had turned away from where we needed to go just before reaching it. Fortunately there was a shortcut through the middle of the base that would get us back there fairly quickly.
In my dream, as in life, I had to stifle the urge to be critical over the misunderstanding.
