alright so I'm working on my dream recall, and I can remember the gist of my dreams in my head during the day. Now I have an actual dream journal, but I get sooo lazy especially during the night, that I don't wake up, and my dreams continue on, and then another dream starts. Sorta like my head is like a Dream HBO if you will lol.

I just need help on what all should I remember from my dreams, how detailed do I have to be, and when I should set my alarm?
