funkier than deltron 3030

whats up all. sooo i had my first lucid about a week ago, which was maybe only a week or two after joining dreamviews. i had quite a bit of success right off the bat, and it was nice, and i'm not trying for useless complaining, but im falling into quite a rut. i'm trying to keep things consistant (ie music, bedtime, melatonin, etc) but i cant seem to remember any of my dreams these last coupla of nights. i keep my dream journel right next to my bed and am ready to pounce on it everytime i wake up, but im hitting a brickwall every morning. i wish i could be more clear and specific about this rut ive fallen into, thus i could get good feedback, but its nothing more than a rut that ive found myself in, and theres no better place than a dreamviews forum thread to rant on about it lol. who knows, maybe the best cure is some positive feedback :P

Don't worry, don't expect to be having lucid dreams every night, unless you are a natural or a very experienced dreamer it simply wont happen. I noticed you take Melatonin, I recently quit taking it because I noticed I stopped remembering dreams period. Before I started taking it I was remembering two-three dreams a night, now that I quit I am remembering two-three dreams again. I don't know if this could be effecting you as well, all of our bodies are different but I would recommend not taking it for a night or two. Keep up the journal, remember to perform reality checks daily, and just keep practicing. I have been practicing for about two months now and have only had four-five lucid dreams, you must stay patient and most importantly don't give up.

Making sure you get enough sleep?
Whenever I'm having a bad run of nights with no dreams logged it's simply because I haven't been sleeping enough.
