Hey all! I just joined a week ago, and I'm super ready to get started on my LDing!!
The first night I tried, I became aware that I was dreaming, and had a bit of dream recall when I woke
up and wrote in my Dream Journal. Since then, I just have not been able to remember my dreams!
I don't know what it is, but for this past week I just have not been able to retain my dreams :(
Any tips to help me get back on the path?
Cheers mates

Welcome to DV!
Sometimes my recall gets really low as well, I just keep trying. I find that I often recall dreams as I'm going to bed at night, so I guess relaxing and lying down on your bed could help?
Maybe try taking a day or two off from trying.
Hello admeth!
I have been getting the same problems!
My first 3 days i could recall 5 dreams very very detailed.
The next 3 days i couldn't remember anything at all. (I did try some different methods in these days tho...)
I think u should evaluate all your nights,
Did u use different bed and wake up times?
Did u use a different method?
Etc etc.
I think its best to evaluate your very first night, and do it exactly over again.
And see what happens!

I agree with both of them ^^
It's normal for dream recall to vary, especially on your first few weeks. Remember that you're starting up a new habit that you didn't normally do before, so it may take some time for your body and mind to adjust.
Just keep trying and maintain your intention to remember. The more you intend to recall your dreams, the better you will recall them. Like Killing said, if it persists, try taking some time off. :)
Good luck!

Welcome to DreamViews, Admeth!
You have some really great Dream Journal entries posted. Keep up that recall!
Pleasant dreams! :)
Hello Admeth,
Welcome to the site! I m also new (only 2 months) and got that same issue in the beginning I went from 2 to3 dreams a night to recall nothing in 7 days straight I thought this is it i m finished LOL but some days after it just got back.
So I would say dont become too stressed with it, stress and wanting it too much will do the opposite I think..just relax and let them coming back, they will!
Good luck!
There are many factors that can cause this. It doesn't have to be connected to the fact that you had a lucid dream, in fact it's not very likely to have anything to do with that at all.
Just think back, what did you change? Did you go to bed later than usual? Where you out patying (drinking)? Where you stressed about something? - school, work, lucid dreaming?
Sometimes you really do remember your dreams, it's just that you forget them the moment you wake up in that case all you have to do is to practise your short-term memory:

It's not 100% guaranteed to make you remember your dreams, although it's 100% guaranteed to help you increase your recall.
