Cant Remember! Options

Ok so i have been keeping a dream journal but as most of you know here you do not dream all at once you dream in sections. So this is my problem i was dreaming and the first dream i had i woke up and was going to write it down but i was so into the dream i did not want to wake up and it go away. So i fell back to sleep having had another couple of dreams once i woke i could not remember the first one or any of them. Now normally i can remember them whenever i wake up and immediately write it down. Well ill get to the question i feel like i am rambling. I was wondering how some of you go about remembering your dreams? I will keep repeating i will remember my dreams when i wake while i am going to sleep. But i would like to try some other methods to better improve. Thanks for any help.

Peace

I think this should be done over time as you get better. Having a dream journal is a pain anyway I think. If you wake up after having a dream continue to think about the entire dream and review it, making sure to actually see the dream as it happened. Dreams do not typically operate with long term memory, they operate with short term memory. When you wake up you need to quickly transition the memory into long term storage by recalling it. Anywhere from one to five minutes max should be fine.
