I decided to do a small experiment over the past week and a half and stop writing in my dream journal, and only try to remember the dreams in my head. I got four lucid dreams, and two WILDs that week, and over this week, so far, one lucid dream. Is it really necessary to write your recalled dreams down, instead of just remembering the details in your head?

I know DJs are good to discover your dream signs and all, but I haven't had much of a problem with those. I don't have recurring dream signs.
