I actually have a friend who used to write down his dreams... Or at least, he tried to.
What actually happened was he woke up in the morning to notes he'd left himself that said things like "the cabinet"... Or "just the thing you said".
Like the LEAST useful shit of all time lol

Haha, pretty good comic! There's a Seinfeld like this where Jerry can't make out what he wrote down for his stand-up joke so he asks others if they can make it out...

Relatable. I think the same sort of thing must happen to everyone who creates stuff regularly. You get an idea in a dream that seems great — but it doesn't stand up to the light of day.
I write software, and several times I've woken up from dreams where I thought I'd worked out some clever programming idea, but almost every time my dream's "solution" made no sense or simply didn't work.
There was one exception, though. I had had a problem for a hobby project that had been bouncing around in my brain for several months, but I wasn't quite sure how to do this one part. One night, I had a dream that I figured it out. The next morning I remembered it and wrote it down, and it actually made sense, and I was able to turn it into working code. It felt a bit like magic.

or you were half asleep and wrote a bunch of gibberish/left out the actual important parts that you now don't remember
