I have two journals, the first (kept for last ~6 years) is a place where I can vent all my thoughts without autocensure, I don't write there too regularily, so it ends up in a mixture of negativity and traveling notes (while traveling I allways feel full of thoughts I need to restructure in the journal).
The second is a dream journal. I've started it in purpose of lucid dreaming (that never happened), now I keep it just becouse dreams are beautifull and journaling them helps to remember them better. This journal goes in cycles: start dreamwriting - get better and better in it - spend more than hour dreamwriting every morning - stop it to save time - let it be some time.
I have also a notebook where I copy poems I like, but this is rather empty. And also a reader's journal.
Could you elaborate on the concept of commonplace book? (Unless it gets too personal.) How do you decide what is important enough to write there? How vast are the topics you keep together?
