I don't think doing bullet points would be very useful. If you're not going to record the dream in full detail, don't bother. Sometimes the details you record at the time may seem meaningful, but they may have meaning to you later.[/b]
I agree that recording dreams in full detail etches the dream in our memory more strongly than jotting a few quick notes about the dream. But when we are pressed for time and have only two options, write a few brief notes or nothing at all, I think there is value in the notes.

When I had poor dream recall, writing out my dreams in detail trained me to remember my dreams beyond the immediate waking period. After building reasonable recall, I find that writing brief comments jogs my memory so that later I can recall the dream itself. Recalling the dream itself allows me to recall details of the dream. Does this make sense? If it didn't work this way, we'd all be slaves to our detailed dream journals. As illustrated nicely by smilies! (The yellow guy is writing, not reading.)
