Forgetting LD's

Last night it seemed that i had very poor dream recall. I remebered some fragments of ND’s but nothing much.
Then later I was on the bus and EUREKA i had a slight nanosecond of a dream last night where I was lucid. I was trying to incorporate all my senses and I remeber puple and green. I still not entirely sure if it even happened.

This leaves me too wonder how many lucid dreams ive had that I just dont remeber. You think being so interested in them, i would wake up imediately after that.

Any thoughts on this? Or suggestions of how to “rebuild” recently forgaotten dreams?

For me, if I can suddenly remember a second, I can usually use that point to sort of work my way backwards in my memory. Unfortunantly, I only get a little more recall (maybe ten seconds) and it’s unvivid etc.

This is why I like to wake up strait after an LD.

Dang I used to hate when that would happen, i once forgot about 4 LDs in one night, untill that night before i went to bed and i realized that i had them.

Dont worry though, the more you work on you recall the lass and less you will forget, and usually you will always remember the LDs .

Perhaps it is just me but, I can’t imagine forgetting a lucid dream. I always seem to remember even extremely low level lucid dreams with no trouble at all. Perhaps it was really a false lucid dream you were remembered a fragment of.

Sometimes if the lucid dream is very long, or I don’t wake up from it immediately (e.g. I slip out of lucidity) then I can only remember the last few seconds of it. When a LD is over I have to wake up and think carefuly about it or some details will be surely lost in the morning.

ya i think milod789 is right. i think it might have been a false LD that i was remembering. I had another of the same kind of thing las night again. I was doing all these reality checks but never really got lucid. I only remeber a second of it though.
