Waking up Everytime I have a new dream...

As time goes by and I develop my dream journal more, I recall more dreams but the problem is that it is really difficult to document all these dreams. Last night I remembered like 5 or 6 dreams and I am waking up everytime I have a new dream, which means the only way I can document these dreams is by recording them every time I wake up. It's getting hard to document them all since I also need to consider my need for sleep. Is it okay just to write down one dream per night. My body is getting into the habit of waking up everytime I have a new dream but I can't write all these dreams down or record them either. It's too much work for someone that has a day job! lol I mean it's great that my recall is getting better because I want lucid dreams and so far I've had three in a week, but this is getting ridiculous. Any advice???

I periodically wake up during the night as well.

You could try just doing quick notes on the dream, instead of trying to write everything out in paragraphs. Jot down what happened, any possible dream signs, and so on.

This is also a great way to practice techniques such as SSILD, FILD, and WILD - waking up from REM sleep increases the chance of having a lucid dream with these techniques. I always utilize the moment to try my hand at a technique.

Thanks. I'll try just recording it again. I'm just so tired when I wake up. The more I wake up and notate the more I remember and the more I wake up and the more tired I am. lol It's a cycle. lol
