There are alternatives. What I do is keep a notebook (not my dream journal) beside my bed on the nightstand, and if I awaken from a dream in the middle of the night I just jot down a few quick key words like: where I was, what was happening, any dialogue I can remember, and anything else significant about the dream, and then immediately pass back out (if I can). Then when I wake up for real in the morning I transfer any of those dreams notes from the night that I want into my dream journal and elaborate to full detail. |

I totally agree with MrFantasy. |

Some people use a voice recorder to take their notes instead of writing things down... I wish i could do that, but unfortunately, it would wake up my BF |

I LDed successfully without keeping a DJ for over a year, and I'm not keeping one now, but I'm still getting frequent LDs. Like you, my dream recall is excellent and always has been. So to answer your question, no, a Dream Journal isn't necessary. |

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked."Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)
There is a misconception that you are expected to write in detail your dreams when you wake up. The real thing to do is wake up, don't move, go over the dream in your head, then scribble keywords about the dream down (crudely or otherwise) and go back to sleep. In the morning, you'll remember the dream based off the keywords and can then write an entry. |

A big thanks to all of you everyone! I was wondering about keeping a journal because my problem is that I sometimes elaborate on one point to much, and by the time I tried to jot down another element of the dream, I would have forgotten it and would have to strain to remember. Which in effect would wake me up completely. I'm going to give the tape recorder a shot instead. |

Yea I usually just write all my dreams down when I wake up. I've always had a natrually good dream recall for some reason. I like writing down my dreams because when I read back to the ones I had about two months ago, I can still visualize everything from that dream. So its like keeping memories I have forgoten. But when I read them over, I remember them |
|
a tape recorder isn't meant to replace the dream journal, just act as an intermediary stage between remembering the dream, speaking it out and recording it on the tape recorder, and then however long you feel like waiting later writing it out in full detail in your journal. |
