I have a digital hand held recorder that is easy to use and upload to computer, sort, query and analyze my dream journal. My question is, is that being lazy and could it account for my slow progress in learning to LD? When I first started and had most of my LDs I was keeping a journal with pen and paper One thing about the ease of a recorder is that a lot of information can be recorded before it’s forgotten including emotions and tone of voice and it helps in remembering what the dream was really like. But should I take the time to write it on paper?
