When you wake up with an idea in your head from a dream
Get up and capture it even if in its simplest form.
More detail is better, but that at least prevents you from forgetting it by mid-morning ... simplest solution is best for me.
I agree.
Unless they are particularly impactful in some way, we're designed to quickly forget our dreams ; probably because our waking life is more important to focus on.
Whether it's avoiding being eaten by a saber-tooth cat, surviving in a battle zone, catching a plane for a job interview or simply getting breakfast started, we've got to get on with our day. If you don't capture a dream while it's fresh, it's probably lost.
PS> Keep that spear close by, those cats are dangerous
