Hello dreamers,

I have a question about forgetting lucid dreams. I only had 1 lucid dream myself but I've read everywhere that you need to write everything down to remember your dreams.

What I don't get is why would you forget a lucid dream? You are lucid and are as aware as in waking life, maybe even more as you are dreaming and want to make use of it.
Why can we forget lucid dreams so easily compared to waking life.

Something like the following: I knew that I went to school around 2 months ago and went shopping afterwards to help a friend of mine look for a gaming mouse.
I know this as it was something memorable, I didn't need to write it down as I was aware of it happening at the time and it is just build in my memory now.
Why doesn't this work for lucid dreams, why won't people remember their lucid dreams? They are aware of it so why can't we remember it as easily as waking life?

I'm not that experienced with lucid dreaming, so I am really curious about this.
