Wait, so your memory of your waking life was like impossible to recall.
Yes, that's the weird part. I had absolutely no problem remembering my 'mission' (and never have). I think I could vaguely recall, perhaps, having written down that I was supposed to do it somewhere. However, I couldn't remember anything beyond that of reality, which was probably made worse by how freaky it is to forget everything, making it even more impossible to remember.

Just continue what your doing, and keep using your senses.
I will admit I forgot to use my senses, but this method (though mind blowing) has had little effect on my awareness in the past - ie, I need a new trick!

You only need to reality check to make sure ur dreaming.
A hypothesis I had as to why my dreams felt fuzzy was that I was losing awareness too quickly, so I employed this method to ensure I wouldn't lose it (I intended to use it in superfluous amounts). However, since I can now state confidently that I was lucid from the time of the first RC to being awoken, I know that this is not the case. I can almost certainly link it to the fact that I couldn't remember anything though; seems I have blocks up against becoming too aware.

I would appreciate any other thoughts on this dream amnesia.
