    Dreams in LDRs -- Help me with a university study? :]

    I'm in a Study of Dreams course and for the course, we have to choose a topic of interest on which we can write/develop a paper/project. My interest was in writing about dreams and the thematic elements of dreams in LDRs, as I've noticed something of a trend in the dreams that people here have reported, either in threads or blogs. My question is, would you be willing to help me with this study by answering some questions for me? It could be entirely conducted through PM over this site (or e-mail or instant messenger, if you liked/preferred), so it's not a situation where you'd have to fit me in for a Skype appointment and you could answer in your own time, so long as it was within a reasonable amount of time. The other question I'm curious about is to if anyone here has ever kept or is currently keeping a dream diary? And if so, in that dream diary, have you had dreams within your LDRs that you've written down?

    I'm still formulating my project idea, but before I can go ahead with it, I need to see if I have enough people willing to contribute dreams/talk to me about dreams and their relationships, else I'll have to think about doing something different. Thank you in advance!

    EDIT: For some reason, he's told us now he's not giving us our project specifics for like two weeks? xD So to everyone who's offered to help and would like to help (if you'd like to help, still post or let me know somehow!), I'll be contacting you starting in about two weeks from today.

    EDIT: Getting started on the project this coming week. Still open to hearing from more people!

      I've kept a dream journal for a while. I'm not currently in an LDR but I can go back and find the dreams I had when I was.

        I don't have a dream journal, but I am willing to try to help you out if I can. If you want, you can PM me.

          Awesome, that would be great! :] A few others have expressed interest as well so I'm hoping this pans out. I still have to go over more of the details with my professor but so far it's looking good!

          EDIT: A dream journal isn't required to participate/be a part of it. I think it's more because my professor is interested in my collecting an inventory and so a dream journal seems to be the easiest reference point for collecting that inventory. He also has a theory that one or two of every handful of people will actually keep them, so it's interesting to see someone does in the handful of people who have expressed interest. :P

            I don't dream often, but I'd be willing to help you out with what I have dreamt (I remember a couple specific to ldr).

            On another note, my SO had a dream that was largely responsible for our break up last year, so I couild tell you about that if you were interested.

                I'd love to help! I don't keep a dream diary but I do sometimes write them down, usually to tell someone that they were in it or to share with my boyfriend, so I have a couple that I've written down during my LDR, but they tend to be the exceptionally weird ones or the ones involving him.

                        And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.
