Hi I recently became "sexually active" and this has caused me to have no dreams that I can recall whatsoever at night. I was trying to achieve lucidity and I was starting to remember 3 dreams a night, and at one point was lucid at the end of the dream. Then once i started "seeing" this girl I can not recall one dream the entire night. I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences or explain why I'm not having any dreams. Any thoughts or concerns on the subject really.
Are you trying to say you have sex with the girl in your dreams?
From my knowledge, an increase in sex drive doesn't reduce one's ability to remember their dreams. You are still dreaming so you don't have to worry about no dreams, you just can't recall them. I wonder is it because of the excitement you get from seeing that girl in your dreams.
No im saying i have sex in real life, and for some reason after that I don't have any dreams
You are having dreams, just not remembering them. I think your mind is occupied by new real life experiences and less occupied by dreaming. Once the excitement of the new experiences begin to wear off I'm sure you'll be able to get back into a routine of remembering your dreams.
I interpreted your sentence wrongly, I thought you stopped recalling dreams the moment you saw a specific girl in your dream. :?Quote:

I see, that does make a lot of sense. thanks for your insightQuote:

I formed certain associations with certain types of music when I was a child and I find it hard to change them.
If you're talking about having sex and then going to bed right afterwards, sex releases some chemicals in your brain that make you insanely tired. See this.
I think it would help you WILD much faster. But if you're talking about sex in general, then I'd have to agree with dms111.
I've had the same thing happen, but it was with joining my fraternity. There were a lot of new things I had to become accustomed to. My LD count went down drastically for a few weeks.Quote:

Good luck! And keep dreaming :cheeky:
Sex in Dreams is very different. I don't care what I fuck I just do it.
Take it easy, stay persistant and you'll be able to start remembering your dreams.
Any big life changing situations may lead to this, so don't worry.
