    Chose Not to Record Dream

    Was too tired, and consciously chose not to record a dream in middle of the night.

    All I remember now is that it was an issue dream of some sort, but probably a REM not NREM, even at bet all I had would have been a fragment, and I remember thinking that it was not an important issue and not very interesting.

    Btw, I woke up with the desire to try a WILD again only to be disappointed by finding out that it was almost time to get up on a work day. Tomorrow however is Saturday, and maybe I can try to WILD tomorrow morning.

    EDIT: Interestingly I remember also thinking that this issue in this dream fragment was the same as in another dream fragment that I forgot once I moved.

    It occurs to me that maybe my subconscious is trying to resolve some issue that it does not want my conscious to participate in at this time. Either that or my subconscious is blaming dream recall effort for my being too tired lately. Should I take a break and try again after a while?

      I've been doing the same lately, but when I actually do decide to wake up more fully and scribble something down I usually discover I'm glad I did becuae it ends up being much more relevant than I initially thought it was (when I was all sleepy-headed and just didn't want to be bothered).

      Yup, that possibility occurred to me, especially once I remembered thinking that this was a repeat from another dream I forgot. My mind would probably not keep returning to the issue if it is truly not important nor interesting. One of my dream fragments that I originally even upon waking thought was unimportant, further analysis revealed much greater importance than I had anticipated. Oh well, if this one was important, hopefully it will come to me again.

      I just happened to me again (after 2 hours of sleep) and I found while I thought I was really awake I was actually sort of half asleep and had to make a real effort to wake up fully - don't remember if it was a mental or physical effort, but I'm glad I made it - this was a reaal doozy of a dream!!

      Something like that happened to me awhile ago, while trying to recall dreams upon waking up I out of nowhere remembered a useless dream that I swear I had years ago but couldn't remember it those years ago, strange.
      This might work for you I don't know but it's worth a try, I never actually try to dream recall, but I have my dream journal by my bed just incase, but I notice when I consciously try something with dreaming it doesn't happen, but when I think "just in case, but if not oh well", I then remember so many the next morning. I guess sometimes the mind works against commands
