Forgotten Lucid Dreams?

[Paradox-db3]

Do you ever wake up from a dream and think that you may have been in a lucid, but can't remember the dream? That was my case last night. My older daughter woke my up crying in her room. She sounded quite frightened. I didn't hesitate to get up and run to her. I ended up spending about 10-15 minutes with her before I went back to sleep. I lay back in the same position I was in when I awoke, and I just felt that I had an epic dream, or possibly even a lucid. But I could not remember the dream. It was right there, but not close enough to remember anything significant! Does anyone else experience this, where they may have had a lucid dream, but can't remember it?

Yes! It is so annoying. I had a lucid but I can only remember 2 seconds of it. It makes me really mad.

Happens to me too often where I remember that moment of lucidity, and looking at my hands, but not the rest of the dream

[yuriythebest]

the trick is to wake up directly after an LD and not loose lucidity

The REAL trick is to tell yourself in your dream, "I am in a lucid dream. I am lucid. I am looking at _____. I will remember this sight/sound/feeling/situation/character/whatever when I wake up."

I nearly forgot one of my lucids. In fact, I was attempting to get back asleep to try again to have an LD, when I remembered I'd just had one. I was both really happy I'd remembered it, and really annoyed at myself for nearly forgetting it.
