Dream recall is such an unexplicable matter. During yesterday’s night I was able to recall five (normal) dreams, one being a dream fragment, others “full-feature” sized dreams. Two dreams a night was my best achievement before. Anyway, I considered this a good sign and intended to take advantage of the other week-end night and immersed myself in thought about dreaming, read P. Garfield’s “Creative Dreaming”, after going to bed I suggested myself that this is good night for LDing and so on.
And guess what?
I woke up in the morning and I could not recall a single dream. I usually don’t take no dream recall too gravely, but today I was really disappointed. I managed to fall asleep once again and I had a flying dream which I think was permeated by this frustration I had. Even flying wasn’t effortless as it usually is in my dreams.
Don’t take me wrong, I remain undaunted, I just had to write something about how elusive beasts dreams can be…

I sympathize with your frustration.
There is simply no telling what you will get. It is absolutely ridiculous, and it makes me angry at times. There is nothing you can do on this earth that will have a foolproof influence on your dream recall.
Why are we humans so inept?
Patience is one of the greatest virtues an LDer can have. It will come, don’t worry.
Yeah, I haven’t been able to recall dreams lately either. A week ago, i was remembering 2-4 dreams a night! This week, I can barely remember a single one!
WOW this is unbelivable!!!
i have been working on my dream recall forr 2 weeks and was geting really good at it!!! 2 nights ago i also had FIVE dreams (personal record also) and felt great and than yesterday and today NOTING!!! i thought it had somethin to do with the moon maybe but the full moon is in3 days…
