My dreams have become like a faded black and white movie, which sometimes has no picture at all :(

Hi my fellow person-humans

It has been a while since I've sought help here with my dreams, but I am so damn frustrated.

-Although I have some recall, I usually wake up in the morning with only faint outlines of my dreams, if any.

-I no longer feel like my dreams are another reality and fun, but rather more like a dry book, with a few faded pictures.

-How can I get the "zest" back in my dreams, with feeling, and color, and overal vividity. (Is that a word?) I'll begin my reality checks again, and perhaps try WILDing. (I've done a few inadvertently). I haven't had a lucid in a while, and now only rarely have a vivid dream...

Advice my comrades?

Hmmm, maybe trying to exercise the part of your brain that controls creativity (lthe eft?) by doing things like watercoloring or other things of the like would work.
