For about the last 3 weeks, I've been having very poor dream recall due to being busy. Before, I was recalling 3-6 dreams a night with vivid detail but lately I've been barely remembering a few short fragmented dreams if any at all.
So, this morning I woke up and couldn't remember a single dream again. I figured it was just another poor night but the kids weren't up yet. I was still a bit tired so I just laid in bed. After about 5 minutes, I remembered a tiny dream fragment about updating some spreadsheet. That little fragment must have jogged my memory because it lead to me remembering 3 long dreams and one very vivid dream. Then I also remembered that I was lucid in 2 of those! One mildly lucid and one very lucid where I could even remember a task I wanted to do. What the heck! I went from remembering nothing at all and was about to just shrug it off as another poor night to remembering 2 lucid dreams!
Up until this point I was under the impression that if I had a lucid dream I would remember it because I was lucid. Now I know it is easy to forget even very lucid dreams. This also makes me think I've probably had a few lucids that I forgot due to not recalling them. Ugh I think my brain is trolling me. Time to work on dream recall again.
