      how do you go lucid in a dild and not remember it?

      how is this possible?
      the few times i have gone lucid in dreams, the experience was so realistic, my brain almost treats it like a working memory of an actual RL experience.

      Why would you not want to remember it?

      I think he means that he can't remember the point he got lucid, but just knows he was.

      I know exactly what you're talking about. Here's how it could happen: when you get more and more lucid dreams, and the high initial novelty/excitement wears off a little bit, you may not wake up directly from the dream. If instead you lose lucidity and keep dreaming, or experience a series of false awakenings or actual awakenings followed by non-lucid dreams or even more lucid dreams, remembering the first dream of the chain of dreams without having woken up to recall it fully can be very challenging.

      Sometimes it gets to the point where I've been dreaming for so long that I'll stop what I'm doing, while lucid, and say "there's no way I'm going to remember this all, when I wake up..." and I'll sit there for a while, remembering all of the events of the dream that I can, before waking myself up.

      My recall fluctuates from really good, to not being able to remember a thing, even when I know I had a vivid, intense dream. Many times, when I get lucid, I'll remember just that moment of becoming lucid, and a little bit around my surroundings/situation, but everything else after that few seconds will be completely gone, when I wake up.

      I agree with O. Recall fluctuates for me too, and I have awoken from a dream with just the certainty that I was moments ago lucid, and no memories to corroborate.

      FM has a point too--after a while, we get used to the vividness of LDs and don't see them the same way we did on LD two or three.

      Generally it goes like this:

      "YES! This is an awesome dream!"
      "Random sound from waking startles you"
      "Uh... what was I doing... what was that sound... FUCK!"

      Pretty easy way to forget lucids if you ask me, and mean.

      I concur with FryingMan about some of the excitement wearing off after a while, it's still definitely awesome to have LDs, every single one, but it's not the same as the first few times you get it where your excitement is off the charts. Don't think I have forgotten any LDs (at least not recent ones, I've forgotten some old ones with time) but some of them are a little more hazy than others, usually I think it's when you get one in the middle of the night and you're still tired, you then have some other dreams or more LDs and the first few experiences grow foggy.

      Suppose it's not different from awake memories though, you tend to forget things in real life as well when you're unfocussed or something else happens that takes your attention away.

      So yes, LDs and also vivid dreams are very much like working memory of a RL experience, but remember that you forget stuff in real life as well. =]
