Thread: Quick Q on journal

So I came to the site several months ago with the goal of learning to control my dreams. The area I seemed to have trouble though, and what led to me not really following through well, was my lack of drive to make a dream journal.

Basically I just can't seem to sit myself up in the middle of the night to write, I like sleeping too much.

Recently I got to thinking, would using a voice recorder work as a workable alternative? I think I would be far more likely to reach over, hit a button, and say a few quick sentences than getting out a pen and paper.

Even without following the guidelines here (Dream journal, random dream checks during the day, etc) I can be pretty successful at least reaching lucid state when I try. (In a period of ~90 minutes laying in bed after I awoke today I was able to reach 3 times that I recall clearly, plus a couple more I believe that I don't recall) I just don't have the practice to make them last very long or to exert much control.

I'd like to find a way to work myself into better practices though because if I can reach this level relatively un-trained I'd really like to see what I can do when following through properly.

Anyways, I was just thinking about if I could use a voice recorder, and then just transfer it to print the next day? Also any tips to help myself follow through better this time would be wonderful.
