Last night I had a dream that I was tailing someone like in that MGS4 mission with an ipod playing the soundtrack to Beyond the Black Rainbow.

He met two hookers and I tackled him in his hotel room but then I woke up.

Linda Belcher was talking to me over a walkie talkie.

I dunno if that's a good dream or not.

no

I usually have good dreams and without using a journal I can remember 2-3 per night upon waking, with recording 4-6 per night.

That's also the result of research and practice.

I don't dream

I tried writing down my dreams when I woke up this morning. It was shitty. I could barely open my eyes and I tried to write down the dream with my eyes closed, just barely opening them so I could see scrawl the words barely on the lines, but it just failed and I ended up tossing the notebook and pencil on the floor.

Persistence is crucial. Did you have the journal on the bed with you? It helps a lot.
Also, trying to write the entire experience is pretty draining when you're sleepy. I just pick a descriptive phrase to "bookmark" the experience and try recounting it after I'm awake enough to write it.
The exception to this is when I have a dream so crazy I can't stand to forget anything about it, but those are rare.

It would be cool if I could record myself talking about the dream, and then write it down after that. That would require some immediate recording device or something though.

Oh yeah, that's another good approach (I don't like hearing my voice though).
I'm guessing you don't have an ipod then.
You could probably download some software and keep your computer close when you sleep (like arm's length away).

I had a shitty dream last night that my family abandoned me because my sister tried to murder me on a roller coaster and became a slut in some shitty low-budget anime.

They dumped me with some Seventh Day Adventist cultists with their own fake Bibles and they moved to Compton.

i have these weird sci fi dreams like traveling through a desert on a giant land ship (like that enclave base in broken steel) or building a wind turbine that creates tornados

My dreams are too real.
