I definitely recommend just writing key words down in your dj then coming back and editing it later. Dream recall is very important, even if you feel like your recall is good

also RCs are great but make sure you aren't doing them out of habit and instead couple RC's with awareness. E.g really question if your dreaming when in waking life, does anything look out of place? Why are you in the specefic location you are at? What were you doing 5 minutes ago and what are ypu doing now? Then RC. You don't need to repeat all these questions everytime because that could make it into a mindless routine, taking the awareness out of the practice. There are articles on the site that explain this awareness + RC much better than me. I am on my phone now so I won't provide any links but Google "Sporadic Awareness Technique Dream Views" and there is a great article for DILDS on this site. If you want more resources look around the induction technique section of the site or even pm me and I will send you some other links
