What happens after a Lucid Dream

Is it possible to forget you had a lucid dream? I havn't had one in a long time

.
Do you normally wake up after a LD or do you carry on sleeping which could cause you to forget.
I have been having normal non-lucid dreams where i often tell dream characters about lucid dreams and rubbing your hands but im not lucid its just a normal dream, then when i wake up in the morning i cant believe i never did a reality check because i was so close

Welcome to DreamViews tod!

To answer your question, yes. In fact, I've had an LD that I didn't remember until much later in the day, when I saw something that triggered my memory. It can happen if your dream recall is bad just in general. But yes, when it happened to me, I had a really short LD earlier on in the night, then had a bunch of long non-lucids. I guess the non-lucids were more memorable than the short LD, so I just forgot about it until later. And I had been really lazy with my journal. I was like, "Damn, I wonder if I've forgotten others?"

Just keep journaling, and keep testing different RCs until you find one that works for you.
Good Luck!
