an idea i had but never put into practice: making a spreadsheet to track the number of days between each dream
i had with the same person in it, seeing how (ir)regular it really was, whether it sped up or slowed at times, etc

although, because the spreadsheet itself might have played some role in my unconscious life, i wonder if that
might have carried a risk of creating a system of positive feedback, to some extent. that'd be interesting
