Thread: Can't recall major things... at all!

This is a short extract from my dream journal here on dreamviews (I was arguing with my mother about deep things in the dream):

After this the argument changed, but into the behaviour of women and girlfriends. My mum was all feminist about it but I was saying that there must be some reason as to why girlfriends are so obsessive (my experience of this is a long story...). Then all of a sudden it hit me... it was SO revelating and nothing I had ever thought of consciously. All I can remember is that it made so much sense at the time and just as I woke up it was still in my head. The only thing I can remember is that it was NOT natural for girlfriends to be so obsessive and the reason it happens today is all societies fault (what isn't?). That wasn't it though, there was loads more that made everything so clear. Beleive me this is not the first time this has happened. I ALWAYS forget the most important things in dreams

I've recorded so many times this year, probably even up to 10 times where I've had a dream and something really revelating has hit me, even in lucid dreams! When I wake up though I find it so hard to remember the detail of writing and conversations. This is my worst problem in dream recall and some of these things have seemed really important. A lot of the time I would converse with a guide only to wake up and remember the image, but forget everything what was said. This is really getting me down as far as dreams are concerned and any advice on how to remember conversations would be greatly appreciated. Like I said it's only with writing and conversation I have this problem. Could I for example (if it were a lucid dream), write it into a virtual journal labelled "Memory" or something psycological like that? I can't think of anything else .
