Hey, RGB, welcome to Dream Views.

If you've got a dream journal started, and you're remembering vivid dreams, you're on the right track. Its important not to get discouraged. Having poor recall every now and then is normal. Read around the site, especially in the Dream Journal section. You'll see that even people who have been doing this for years have off nights or dry spells.

The important thing is to keep at it and be patient. Enjoy the vivid dreams when you do have them.

Keep trying to remember to RC during the day. This helps to build your prospective memory, which is very closely related to lucid dreaming in many ways. Maybe give yourself a goal like, "Every time I hear music today, I will RC," or "Every time I walk through a doorway".
