Hi new to this site but I want to learn to get better at lucid dreaming. I know recording your dreams is important in the beginning to improve recall. What I'm wondering is if its necessary to ever go back and read your journals, it seems to me that just pretending to write on a pad of paper about your dreams should be enough to make your brain remember your dream later on. I propose you wake up from your dream, grab your pen and paper and begin writing a detailed account of your dream without actually uncapping the pen, just visualize what your writing in the dark. Idk maybe people already do this, seems like this should transfer your dream experience from short-term to long-term memory. I don't always like to let other people know my curiosities so i'd rather remove the chance finding of some weird journal lol.
