I've had a busy few days due to completing a house purchase and having a lot of things going on at work - my dream recall has gone through the floor in these days! Not helped by a lack of will in the evenings - I had recall last night when I woke up at about 4, but didn't write it down and then couldn't remember it in the morning. I started to WILD but fell asleep almost instantly because I didn't get out of bed, and also was very tired from carrying things to the new house all day.

Will be back into the dreaming world shortly Having recall last night was a good thing, even if I didn't write it down, as it means that it's picking back up again. Last time I had one of these dry-recall spells I rebounded with a lucid dream, so I'm hoping it's going to be the same again tonight!

One thing I did notice when going through the dream diary is that I quite often note that the overriding emotion is anxiety, whether about an event involving me or one not involving me (e.g. watching other DCs play out some TV scene / video game scene). I've read that anxiety is the most common emotion felt in dreams; I'm not a particularly anxious or negative person in reality. When lucid these emotions drop straight away and I feel confident and limitless. I'm not sure I buy completely into dream definitions / dream dictionaries, so at the moment feelings of anxiety in walking life provoke reality checks as it's another good dream sign - I'm realising that it's not just objects that can act as dream signs!
