Thread: I'm having trouble with recall again, help!

I posted a thread before, about having bad recall. I even started a dream journal, but lately i've been failing again. Once again, i have absolutely no recall whatsoever. I usually wake up suddenly more often than i used to, and often i have no idea where i am for a few seconds. I am assuming this comes from waking up from a dream, but like i said, i can't remember it. Maybe i don't want to for some reason? Also, i have been taking tylenol sinus and motrin sinus to help me get to sleep lately, as i have been having problems with my sinus. Could that be a factor in the problem?

I read ataraxis's guide, and it has some good ideas, but none of them seem to help me. I am going to try to go to sleep with more of an idea in mind, but when i try to keep it in my head i find it increasingly harder to sleep. This is causing me some anguish, because i want to know what goes on in my dreams very bad. I remember a few, some stand out, and sometimes things trigger dreams like memories of an event, seeing a person, or looking at something/seeing things happen. But in general, i can never remember.

Also, ataraxis's guide mentioned hypnosis, does this work well?

edit: oh, and one more thing, sometimes i wake up with the feeling that something VERY important happend, and it bugs me for the better part of the day trying to remember it.
