Is it normal to forget details about your real life in LDs?

In my past lucid dreams I haven’t seemed to be able to remember any details about my real life.
Yeah I have been aware that I’m sleeping and that I am in a dream, I have walked around and consciously reminded myself to stay calm “so I don’t accidentally wake up in bed”, explored and been amazed by the realism etc, so I know they have been lucid dreams, but I can’t remember things like my real name or what I normally do during the days.
I’m more or less only aware of my own house, since almost all my lucid dreams have started at home, but actual details have seemed very hard to recall.

Was this your first try in remembering waking life in a dream? If not, were you successful before?

I find it the most fascinating! I have this moments exactly when you describe it. When something in a dream look and feels the same as waking life. I had a dream which I consider one of the best lucid dreams that I had. In this one particular dream for the first time I was parallely comparing waking life with a dream. And it was simply amazing.

And not the looks and feels of the dream but my ability to remember the waking life as it was - the waking life!

Ah, it happens.
Although we are able to think coherently and may know that we are dreaming, little things like that can slip by us. It’s rare for me nowadays (nights? :razz:), but it’s happened before.
A classic example would be even false memories of where you fell asleep.

Depends on level on lucidity, which depends on recall
(requires dream journal) and, amongst other things, sleep quality, which depends on darkness(dependency-less) and melatonine/other stuff, which are dependent on vitamin B6 and trypthophan, dependent on what you eat. It’s Linux package dependency hell applied to LDs.

Now that you mention it, I don’t think about who the “asleep me” is in LD’s. Maybe I should use that to get better lucidity? This must be looked into…

ROLF!
Currently I’m trying to get “make” on a comp not connected to the internet by downloading each and every package it requires, and manually installing them. Linux is awesome, but it’s wifi sucks. Seriously, you ever tried to install packages on a computer not on the internet. F***ING HARD.
