Hi there.

I've never had a lucid dream but have been taking baby steps toward lucidity for a few months now.

The dream journal is the topic of my questions; I don't write my dreams down, I record them. Has anyone else adopted this method? Most of the journals I hear about are written — I've never heard of anyone else recording their dreams on their iPhone or similar device.

Do you think I lose something of the experience in recording them this way? I plan to sit down and write all of my dreams out in a journal but simply haven't had the time. Honestly I think it's easier to listen back to them and get a feeling of the emotion of the dream — it seems to come through in my voice given I'm recording the dream immediately after waking.

How many people think to themselves — upon waking — "Oh that dream really isn't worth recording." and roll over to go back to sleep? I tend to do that from time to time if the dream isn't particularly entertaining.

Thanks in advance for reading and thanks in advance for any and all help you can give me on this.
