I think DJ is a "necessary evil" which we must go through in order to enhance our LD experience. I definitely don't enjoy doing it (or at least I don't enjoy waking up and using the recorder on my iPhone to record my dreams).
But I find that's a very quick way to jot down my dream without turning the lights on and waking my wife. I usually go to the bathroom and whisper into my phone. The next day (or when I get a chance) I will plug my headphones into my phone and type the dreams into my electronic DJ. This works well at work, as no one is able to see what I am typing
