Fragile Recall

Something’s wrong with my recall, lately. I tend to forget very easily what I dreamed if…
1- I get startled in the morning
2- I get distracted
3- I hear a loud noice, or voice, even if it doesn’t startle me.
4- I don’t think REALLY HARD about it.

What’s happening? Does anyone know what may be causing this?

are you keeping a dream diary?

perhaps you are waking up in the wrong parts of your sleep.

perhaps you are stressed or otherwise occupied with real-life activities.

perhaps you are in a rush in the morning.

perhaps you are getting too worried about not remembering your dreams. Everybody goes through stages when they dont frequently remeber their dreams.

…Didn’t you just answer you’re question with the enumeration you gave?

Yep. Since february. It’s Towards the Yoge Mountains, here in the dream diary forum.

Hmm maybe… But I’ve been working normally most of the time.

Nope, hardly. These days have been veeeeeeeery calm and worry-less.

No, read above.

Maybe… But really, I’m not THAT worried…

No. Those are the reasons my recall gets flaky/disappears.

Those things NEVER EVER affected me before. It was pretty much okay for me, for example, to talk to someone right after waking up, or hear loud noises. Plus, most of the time I could recall without really thinking hard about it.

Ah okay, I didn’t know they weren’t a problem for you before. The things you mentioned usually make me not remember what I dreamt.

Anyway, I guess you’re DR is indeed worsening. Maybe you should try to take a break from LDing? Perhaps your DR will come back after some time off. You may be just in a bad period right now, many people seem to experience periods of worse-than-normal DR.

Possibly… Some sort of dry spell…

I’ve noticed it’s been hard to me to find a good position to sleep… Maybe it’s got to do with it too?
