[Boring Dreams]

Okay so for approximately the past week (since I've joined the forums and dedicated myself to learning LDing again) my dreams (all non-lucid) have been incredibly dull, boring, or just stupid. Nothing about them stands out to make them memorable, and it's starting to impact my mood upon awakening. I'm used to having fairly interesting dreams that carry me through the day with a good mood. But so far they've been awful.

Any ideas on why this is so and what are some things I can do about it? Is this simply a side effect of my increased dream recall/recording? Since I've been focusing on recall (which was good before, but not used on every dream of the night) is it possible I am just remembering boring dreams that I would have had before, but would have forgotten? So in other words, my new recall/recording habits are simply drawing attention to the boring dreams I was already having?

Thanks in advance for any advise.

Maybe you're approaching sleep as work now, since you're trying to get something out of it and consciously change how you sleep (going lucid), not to mention having to forcefully remember everything and write it down the next day?
