Well dreams don't necessarily happen like a story, though considering you went from that to senseless dreams, that does bring up a question. But you could use that to your advantage. |

I recently stopped recording a dream journal because my recall went from 6-7 dreams recalled per night with great detail and plot direction, to patchy sporadic dreams which have little to no plot at all. They became incredibly hard to recall due to this. |

Don't you dare defy me!

It's fairly common to have random dry spells in recall from time to time, but that's no reason to give up journaling. Even if you can't remember full details, just try to put anything - it can be a couple words or even just whatever emotion you feel when you wake up. The act of attempting to write stuff down is enough to improve your recall, even when it's struggling in a dry spell. So I'd encourage you not to just drop journaling completely, but try and stick with it. |

If it has only been a week, my advice would be to ride it out. I wouldn't stop journalling because of this, as tempting as it may be. Spellbee2's MMR recommendation would be excellent for making the most of sporadic dream fragments. If it helps, think of it as moving up to the next weight bracket. By spending the time to practice recall on more difficult dreams, you are actually exercising more of your recall ability than if you remembered everything without trying. |
