It's that repeated, deep probing where the benefits accrue. It's also a form of intent, showing to your subconscious that dreaming is important to you.

For a similar reason, it's very beneficial to review your dream memories repeatedly before getting out of bed.

Having a journal entry though allows you to see patterns that emerge over time, track changing dreamsigns, and so forth. It's also fun to look back and see all those dreaming adventures!
