I'm having the same problem. To be honest, I personally believe it's less to do with the content of the dreams & more to do with the mind & communication style of the individual. I often don't write a journal because, as you say, it takes page after page after page to get it all down, but I think this is more to do with an eye for detail & a sense of perfectionism than the content of the dreams, as there are examples of it elsewhere in life. Ever notice how some people, when you ask them as simple question, like, "How was your weekend?" will give you a full epic-trilogy account of what sounds like a relatively simple weekend? There's nothing wrong with this as we all do it to a greater or lesser extent - I know I do it in almost every area of my life; I like to think of it as me 'having the mind of a writer' - I absorb sooo much detail...too much for what is practical. This kind of uber-impressiveness could possibly account for your dilema - as the previous poster said - it seems like evidence of quite substantial recall. I'm suggesting that, like myself & many others, you have a very broad attention span. But as the purpose of DJ's is simply to encourage a more conscious link between you dreamlife & waking life, you could probably get the desired effect from a simple summary & let some of the more finer details remain in your head. I guess it would take practice & perhaps I should take some of this advice myself - look how many lines I've taken to simply reiterate the previous comment!
