You hit the nail on the head here. I find it's better to lay there and try to recall the entire dream first before you start writing because I often remember dreams in reverse. I remember the most recent part of the dream and think "well what was I doing before that...oh yeah!" And then it just snowballs from there until I can't recall anything else.
