Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I'm still having this problem! And this rate, I've realized it's going to be hard to induce lucidity though MILD/DILD because of this problem!

Like I said, I have no problem remembering my dreams! Its just like I'm totally knocked out until I wake up. One thing I'm falling asleep, next thing I'm waking up! Any hints on being more aware during dreams? Or is this how it is for everyone?
