Yes and no. I usually write down the incredibly insane long ones I have because I would never remember them otherwise. Since I lost my dream book, I have written down some of the minor ones too. Some dreams I don't have to write down because they are so disturbing I can't forget them.
Yes. I do not write down every single dream though, but most of them I do. I tend to scribble some notes in a notepad and write them out fully later that day on lucidipedia.com. They have a pretty nifty journal system. Lots of options, statistics and so forth. Their forum sucks though.
I only keep a DJ that exists of keywords of dreams, helps a alot though.
Last night I had my personal record of 4 dreams remembered and written down.
I try to, but a combination of forgetting dreams fairly quickly and a very strong password on my computer means I don't always write it all down, plus been suffering insomnia again recently :(
Thats why you should keep a DJ that is not on your computer,Quote:

I kept it loosely for nearly a month. At least a dream per day. And one day I just don't feel like it anymore. Since then I just work on remembering the good ones and that's it.
Meh. I used to dread the computer DJ at first, but I've adapted to it rather splendidly. :) Haven't used the pad and pen by my bed in ages.Quote:

It used to be every day, then every interesting dream that I remembered, and now only every lucid dream. My recall has officially been destroyed.
I write down all details I remember about my dreams. It often becomes several pages a day.
I right down keywords in my notebook - half the time I can't even see properly in the middle of the night. I tend to remember most of the details later when I update my DJ on DV - same as a lot of people here I guess
I have a large notebook and pen that I keep beside my bed. Unless i'm reeeaaaally tired, I use it whenever I wake up. I put down all the details so that I don't forget anything. I have a DJ here too, but I don't put all my dreams down, just the meaningful ones. Or sometimes I just feel like typing them up :)
It definatley helps with dream recall. Sometimes writing them down in the middle of the night can be a pain in the ass. But I actually quite like it, it's relaxing :P
For me the problem has never been to write the dreams down, but to actually go back to sleep again.Quote:
