That's actually how long it's been since I was wrote down in a dream log. I hadn't thought it was, but there you have it.

on catharsis, it's that I opened, read, considered my old dream log entries, and resolved to find a way to write them again.

I do appreciate the _sensation_ of pencil lead against paper. But writing more than a sentence or two makes my hand cramp, and writing a whole paragraph or three might take an hour.
Last night I took my Kindle Fire (it doesn't get used for anything else -- too awkward a shape, to limited by its software) and was able to take notes on this morning's dream.
Writing it down alone, makes it stick in my mind longer. The sale-price cup that was just a paper label, and how my dog kept collapsing it by jumping up to drink the kool-aid is still clear, hours later. I should have already thought of it.
But not a "smart phone", no. I won't try using that small screen without a real keyboard, and while it could probably be done, I imagine the clickity-clickity of my mechanical keyboard (I have made several) would again, wake the spouse. But the tablet is a suitable compromise.

While I have written several scenes, and at least the one novel, based exclusively on a dream sequence, I don't write them down for novel-writing purposes. Just for the moment of contemplation, and comparison with other dreams near it.

 I still think the roboticizing tale could work I would just need to be more awake, focused, on actually writing when I write my fan-fics.
Which I thought I was, and I did reach fifty thousand words. So maybe it was only a so-so premise, and that was its problem
(no, I just wasn't fully inspired to finesse it fully)
