Thread: Issues Remembering Dreams

For practically my whole life I've been able to remember 1-3 dreams per night.
I've never had a problem.
Recently I've been attempting to WILD (the past 3 days.)
Since then I haven't been able to remember a single dream.
So I have nothing to record.
Has anyone else had this problem?
At first I though it was because one night I was kind of drunk...
but it happened last night to.
No dreams.
Yesterday afternoon as well.
No nap dreams.
Anyone else had this problem?

itschemistry, I've noticed a lot of different factors have affected how well I can remember my dreams. Have you been taking any psychotropics more / less than usual lately? (I'm thinking alcohol and caffeine). Have you been prescribed any new prescription drugs? Have your eating / drinking habits changed? (Types of foods, eating more or less). Your sleeping times? (Have you changed your times that you are sleeping at, and are you sleeping longer or shorter?)

You obviously don't need to actually answer, just ask yourself those questions. You'd be surprised what little things you only changed then you might notice to have caused remembering them to be a problem.

Personally, I don't let it worry me too much. After all, the last thing you want is moulding your life around lucid dreaming - Just let lucid dreaming mould itself around your life. Good luck .

It could be stress, any of the above factors, or it may just be a dry spell. Try chanting a mantra in your head before sleep each night, something like, "I WILL remember my dreams," with plenty of determination. That method has really helped me, and it did it very quickly...I went from 0 dreams to 3 per night within 3 weeks!

Thank You.
I have had some of these changes.
I just started working 2 jobs.
I wanted to make sure it wasn't the WILDing.
