Thread: Forgetting Lucid Dreams

I think it's very possible to forget a lucid dream when you aren't lucid when the dream ends. If the dream ends and you we're still lucid you should be able to remember much of it. I think.

Yeah I think it is possible, I mean if you have really bad dream recall it is possible you have had lucid dreams and never known it.

Similarly you might only remember fragments off lucid dreams if they are early on in sleep and you go on to have a bunch of other normal dreams. I think it wasn't too long ago that Lucid Seeker said he thought he had a lucid dream but couldn't remember so yeah sure it is very possible.

Some times, I even chose to forget...

I occasionally forget parts of lucid dreams. Sometimes I remember them as I write them down. Other times I'm left with only a fragment (that really annoys me!).

Machino... I'm thinking "Maraschino," like the cherry. Or perhaps a machine gun. Or perhaps El Machino, the tortilla maker... But since you said 'youth,' I'm thinking cherry.

Gah, I was afraid of that. I have this nagging feeling that I've had some lucids but can't remember them. Oh well . . .

I think machino is a wild goose chase too. frustrating.

Totally selfish to resurrect this thread, but "machino' is from a song by the Rentals! Jeeze! Only took me more than a month!

Yeh you can forget them. I have done so before and i am sure i had a lucid last night, i can recall a dream and i am sure i was lucid but i can't recall hardly any of the dream.

I could have forgotten lucid dreams but never known it.

Sometimes I only remember the moment that I became lucid, or that I became lucid at all, and don't remember jack about the rest of the dream. It's kind of like those days when I wake up remembering only that I had a dream but not even a single snapshot of what the dream was. (Middle-of-the-night dreams tend to be like that...or if my recall is good, I remember one or two snapshots from them.)
