After one LD my dreams are gone?

[goneLUCID]

I recently had a really good LD (posted it here, check out my dream journal) but I have been having issues with things ever since. I know most people after their first LD just complain about not being able to have another LD. Well my issue is not being able to remember a normal dream. About 4 dreams before my LD was the last time I actually FULLY remembered a dream. I have a journal but there hasn't been an entry of a regular dream since then. Ever since my LD I still haven't been able to remember what it was I dreamt about. Even last night, I woke up in the middle of the night with nothing at all. I went from full long detailed dreams, to now just remembering nothing. Any clue why this is happening to me? Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated!

Don't stress over it. I can tell you have the motivation, otherwise you'd see this lack of recall as an effect of your own conscious actions (lazy journaling). Just reaffirm yourself each night to remember your dreams. A few more hints: -Read past journal entries. Really remember the experience, bring up all images into your head. Show yourself that you are genuinely interested in dreams by not only concentrating on the concept, but the experiences as well. -From now on (if not already), write down when you awaken from dreams. This will enable you to set soft alarms at these times so that you wake up just as the dream ends (you will have much better recall than waking up during NREM!). Of course, having a consistent sleep schedule is a given for this method.

Some people have 'dry runs' You shouldn't get stressed over it. If you really get desperate then try some methods like SILDs or MILDs or something.
