part of me wants to do this. does it disrupt your sleep very much? or do you sleep right away after writing down your dreams?
it doesn't disturb my sleep at all because it's part of my morning routine, in a sense. i jot things down quickly when i wake up; i keep my dream journal and a pen by my bedside so i don't want too much mental energy on anything else. it has to be one of the first things you do, while the images are still fresh. after that, i go about my day! it's a really good exercise. if you wake yourself up with an alarm, for example, you'll be jolted out of sleep and forget everything. and that will disrupt you.
the alarm thing can be really useful just for freewrites. like if you wake yourself up extra early, scribble down words for ten minutes nonstop, and then read it a week later. your mind has all sorts of interesting reflection in that state, and that can be cool. i used to do that, but then lost the journal i would keep those reflections in.
