HI and welcome to Dream Views.

Dream recall can be severely delayed. It is good to lay in bed for a while and just let your mind drift back if you have the time. Sometimes when you don't remember a dream first thing it will come crashing to the forefront of your mind out of the blue. That's usually a nice surprise.

And do start reality checking. It does come in handy. I failed to do that in a dream I had a couple of nights ago. I was flying around and wondered if I was dreaming. In dream I decided if I could fly over the telephone wires I was in a dream. If I couldn't... then i mustn't be dreaming. Well, I never flew over the wire so I ended up missing out on a lucid dream. I should have reality checked as soon as I questioned the situation. Dream me is not the brightest bulb in the pack.
