Confused

[Maric]

Well in one of my dreams I recalled that I did tell myself that I was lucid, but when I woke up I couldnt remember anything after that, heck I couldnt even remember anything before that either. Is it possible that you could become lucid by telling yourself but then 'forget' when you wake up? Because I feel pissed at my brain at the moment

you might want to try another technique first . . . wilding is definitely a more advanced technique. Lots of people have success with dild, especially when they wbtb. Hope this helps . . .

You can definitely forget lucid dreams, as easily as regular dreams in fact. Working on your recall definitely decreases the chances of that happening!

You can definitely forget lucid dreams, as easily as regular dreams in fact. I suppose it is possible to forget a LD but I dont think I ever have. They are so vivid and incredible. I dont think that you have forgoten your LD. A more logical explaination is that you had a dream that you were having a LD but did not actually have one, hence, nothing to remember. Keep going at the basic skills for LDing and use whatever method works for you. Best wishes and good luck. ***inspired to invent a new quote*** "If you remember what you have forgotten, it was never forgotten"

It's possible to realise that you are dreaming and then forget later on in the dream. It's still lucid none the less, all you need to do is remind yourself that it's a dream every now and then just to keep your lucidity topped up.

Thanks for your input guys (didnt try a WILD that time) Also that was a great quote, I hope you dont mind me using it as I dont have much to put in mine xD

It's possible to realise that you are dreaming and then forget later on in the dream. Here lies the importance of forming the habit of doing RC's. During a LD, you are in a cycle. You become lucid during a dream, control the direction that you want the dream to go and then slip back into the dream without any lucidity. An RC or another unnatural event will happen to bring back lucidity and you become conscious that you are still dreaming and the cycle continues. AND ANOTHER INSPIRED QUOTE: "LIVE DREAMS TO THE FULLEST, NOT JUST LIFE."

Don't know if this has been said already but alot of beginners will forget lose lucidity and the dream will continue, a way to stop this from happening is to keep reminding yourself you are dreaming.
