The More I Try, The Harder It Gets

[Scar]

Hey! I am kind of strugling. I recently bought a journal where my dreams can be written down.Since then I have been strugling. The more I try to remember my dreams the less I it. I am just so anoyed, because I usualy have excelent dream recall. What is wrong? Will this pass? I'm realy woried. I always remember what I have dreamt, and now........ Oh man!

It has been my experience (and my fiance's - Tom_Peace, on here) that the more you worry about it, the less likely you are to be able to do it. Relax. Tell yourself that by next week it'll all clear up, and if not, you'll address the issue then. Almost guaranteed that you will be fine before then! If you stress about it, the problem will just compound. Of course, you might want to see if there is an issue that is occupying your mind, or if you haven't been sleeping enough (so you are sleeping extra "deeply" than typically.)

When i first started practicing lucid dream my recall was horrible i practically gave up almost and when i quit worrying about guess what my dream recall got better and better Just believe that you will have recall no matter what with confidence. And you will most likely have recall

Yep, when I started practicing dream recall, I had a few days with brilliant recall, but then nothing for about a week. I followed the same sort of advice that your_rainbow_girl gives above, and after a few days it came back. Since then I've been having them each night, with the exception of a couple.
