I do both. When I wake up in the morning (or sometimes in the night) I quickly scribble down as much as I can remember. Then when I come to type it up on the computer, I usually find I can remember a lot more details. Also, it helps that you can cut and paste on a computer. Otherwise my handwritten DJ would have added notes and stuff going everywhere!
haha yeah true about the copypaste, i used to have a notebook but my bed is really close to my pc, so i usually just leap at the pc.
dunno, im prolly going to start using both aswell, since im going to be away form my pc some nights so a notebook might come handy.
i just think that in a few years to u will be more valuable if u have it on paper, handwritten :)
aww :) ur rightQuote:

awwww, yeah , i guess dream journals work as a messed up diary since ur dreams r often based on stuff u saw irl :D
Writing them down is probably a more effective method due to the time and effort taken to do it, it seems more important when in a written form i believe but when its online it may feel less important. Writing it down is probably more effective if you ask me.
This is exactly what I do and it works well for me.Quote:

/\ yeah, as long as your recording your dreams you're doing the right thing.
I personally just use my journal because my computer is all the way downstairs so mine is just a convenience and it naturally how I started. I always thought that maybe one day i would type them up so that some of the dreams I wrote when I was 13 I would be able to make out. what can I say my penmanship wasn't the best then :p

Also, I believe that ,having a pen and paper is better
