Congrats on finding way that worked for you! |

I started using a voice recorder app on my smart phone halfway through the night before last (before I was using a written journal), and I used it entirely for last night. Boy what a difference! I had 4 awakenings (including the final one where I got up) and recorded 17 different dreams / fragments, way more than any other night! The benfits are: |

I see one issue with this... The things I write or type in the middle of the night are so funny when I wake up. |

I wouldn't mind giving this a go. My recall is decent, but sometimes I'm writing for 15 mins, whereas if I was talking it out, you would think it would be a hell of a lot quicker. |

I also try this method using voice recorder and I must admit it's better than writing dreams on paper or keyboard in the middle of night or after wake up in the morning. Dreams are very easy to forget in short time and recording it is the fastest way of keeping it from losing forever from your memory |

I think that it is called "my journal" there are a few different free types. |

Big flaw: |

I don't see it as being more or less disturbing than writing in bed, which requires additional light, and adds a constantly slight jiggling movement with the writing, and the noise of turning pages. You can also take the voice recorder to the bathroom during a quick bathroom break if even that is an issue. Voice recording also takes less total time. |

I do not write it either next to bed, but in a table in the living room, my wife wakes up with nothing lol... Tried the recorder in the past, I do not like it and writing has some advantages: |

Different strokes for different folks. You advantages are disadvantages to me, and vice versa apparently. I tend to wake up really fast, there's a time limit after which I just won't be able to go back to sleep for a long time. So journaling really fast is really important to me and those like me. I also recall a lot of detail, and with the voice recorder I can get that detail down without worrying about other dreams slipping away. Further, I can understand my voice a great deal better than my night time handwriting scribbles. I spent effort on recalling more and more of the dreams, and more details, up to a point where I need to get back asleep before I'm to awake. I can easily spend 15 minutes or more on recall with the voice recorder, noting detail, pausing for recall, recording more, etc. and that's (for me) already a solid WBTB. |

I am just giving the downs for voice recording... not technique is flawless, but it is not good to make sound it is |
