      My dream recall has suddenly disappeared.

      Before I could remember maybe 5 paragraph long dreams a night. Now I'm lucky if I remember two sentences total, today I remembered nothing. I haven't been more stressed, haven't changed anything about my food intake etc.. Nothing's changed, yet my dream recall is suddenly terrible. How do I stop this?

      I can only suggest going back to the basics of dream recall. As soon as you can, as you are first aware of waking, lie very still and keep your eyes closed. Don't stress about not being able to instantly recall like you used to, but let your mind go blank and stay in neutral. If daytime thoughts pop into your head, gently dismiss them for the neutral open thought. If you get a feeling or snippet, just very casually try to expand it, but stay relaxed. Take some time. Wait for up to a full minute in this neutral state gently teasing a memory or two or of the blankness. Write down whatever you do recall, but see even the smallest fragments as progress, which it is from no recall. Don't worry about backwards steps where you remember nothing.
      You will recover your recall. A similar thing has happened to me a few times. I just accept it as a natural ebb and flow.

      If you have dream signs ( things/scenarios/people/places/feelings etc. that occur often in your dreams ) use them to your advantage. If you have lots of of dreams about the place in which you work/study, then try to recall if you had any dreams related to those places. Make a list ( I use a circle that I rotate through once after waking up ) about those dream signs and go through them every morning.

      Wake up a few minutes earlier so you have more time to recall.

      Try not to move while recalling.

      Find meaning for recalling. Better recall = better lucid ability.

      The same thing is happening to me. I guess I never should have stopped dream journaling! I think dream recall is a skill that if you don't use it for a while, you lose it.
