Once I've written down my notes for each dream after waking up from each dream, do I need to rewrite the dream later on coherently, or is just writing down the notes enough to improve Dream Recall?

I find it best to write as many details as I can upon waking up. Although I'm sometimes too lazy to do that.:P If you can remember it clearly, write as much as you can when starting to improve recall.
Writing down notes is usually only done to help you write down the whole dream later. To get the whole benefit of dream journaling, you really need to write down as much as you can remember. A large part of dream journaling is showing your mind that dreams are important to you, and just writing down notes actually shows the opposite.
Oh, and welcome to the forum! :)
