Thanks for pointing out the SSILD technique - I hadn't come across it before. I gave it a go last night but haven't been successful for the past 3 days in dream recall; I seem to wake up with nothing in my mind, not even a small fragment. I've been a bit busy at work and my wife came home last night from abroad so maybe I was more distracted than usual; when I woke up after 5 hours sleep last night, for example, I did a few SSILD cycles and fell asleep straight away!

I've read quite a lot about people having "nights off" from lucid dreaming and recollection. Do you think that the poor/zero recollection of the last 2-3 days is just my brain taking a rest? I've been going at things pretty hard (in terms of research, trying techniques, all-day awareness etc.) for the last two weeks with pretty good success.
