Been keeping mine since 4th Aug 2003. Got it right here on my computer. 
Though I admit it can be annoying sometimes… i’ll wake up, have a fairly decent recall (by normal standards), come down and by the time i’ve gotten my computer on and brought the file up, i’ll have forgot a whole heap due to people making a racket. 
I just started keeping a DD.
Before, if I was lucky, I could remember about one dream every three months… 
Now, thanks to my DD I usually remember two or three dreams every morning 
Two or three? I’m lucky if I remember two, to be honest. But still I do get one most days.
Well, I keep a notebook next to my bed, in which I usually write after I wake up - this is especially handy when I wake up in the middle of the night and remember my dreams up to that point. Because when I go back to sleep I usually aren’t able to recall the early dreams in the morning. I also use another Livejournal for entering quick dream notes, and a seperate Dreamjournal for writing down the dreams I remember in detail. Still, I’m pretty lax about keeping either of them… I often forget the notebook, and by the time I have the computer on… bye bye memory. :3
And yes, often when you start writing other pieces of the dream come back to you. ^^
I’ve always been able to remember most of my dreams well - although not always every night, I do have a whole collection of images in my mind from previous dreams. Still, if I read back on my DJ there’s a lot of dreams I don’t recall having at all.
My online dream journals are here:
dreamjournal.org/dj/index.cf … =Damanique (um, yeah… the URL doesn’t work right because of the acronym script. ^^)
and here:
livejournal.com/users/mercuriel
The entries of the latter are usually but not always private, though, and doubles as my writing journal… ^^ Um… I’m not a journal addict. Why would you say such a thing.

Moogle, that privacy issue would be a big problem, especially if you’ve got little kids around… so I use abbreviations that only I can decipher and stuff. If I want to say “Had sex” I would probably use RPRDCD (Reproduced) in my written journal. Then later I can remember that I used that stand in and eventually transfer it to my computer passworded journal. If I want, I can have it encoded many times with many passwords, but that would take a long time.
I would love to keep one but abbreviations wouldn’t help if they could be guessed as my “little kids” aren’t quite so little! 
(16, 19 and 22). Plus an inquisitive hubby. Problem isn’t it?
I keep a journal, but I don’t usually put much detail into it. I find that just a few key words or sentences are usually enough to bring the entire thing back when I read over it in the morning. Every few days I write some of them up in full detail on the team forum, particularly if I was lucid, or there was some other significance to it.
I also keep a journal - I have a little notepad that I write down most of the dream in along with the time I slept and woke up, foods I ate before sleeping, methods, sex/no sex, music I listened to while sleeping, etc. then once I have a few dreams down in the journal, I type them up, and it’s a huge help for recall.
