I recall mine a bit differently. Instead of writing them down immediately when I wake up, I lay there first, and try to remember all the details. I try to memorize them as much as I can, and try to remember the story line and characters. I do this over and over until I have a very good and detailed vision of what I just dreamt. (Almost like reliving it.) Then I write them down in my written journal. I realized that I always forget details when I write them immediately when I wake up. This is because when I write, the writing part itself requires me to think and focus about what I'm writing at that moment, and it makes me forget all the other things about the dream. But this is just my way, don't know if anyone else does this. x) Good luck
