I used to be able to remember dreams in the morning, every night just by asking for a dream, but a few months before starting a DJ I couldn’t do this anymore. I’ve tried recording dreams for about 1.5 to 2 months, but I’ve only remembered a few in that time. I’ve tried different techniques (drinking water before bed, writing in my DJ before sleeping etc.), but none of them seem to have worked and I don’t know what I can do 
. Maybe i’m trying too hard, or I have a mental block about remembering, but I really don’t know what to do.
I can remember my dreams now. I found out that if I wake up after six hours with WBTB and then stay awake for half an hour I have good recall in the morning. Hopefully i’ll keep remembering my dreams.
I’ve had some luck with WBTB. About a week ago I did this and remembered 3 dreams in a morning and two of them had gone lucid! I’ve tried this 2 or 3 times since then and I didn’t even remember one dream. In fact, I did it one time and I accidentally slept through my Chemistry class. I guess we can’t win them all.
It may help if you have a DJ, to write out your intention to have and recall a dream long enough to write it down in the morning. I find that sometimes this works. It keeps you entering in your DJ even when you don’t have any dream recall. I also make a note such as as “Had no recall of dreams last night.” I always date these entries as well.
the reason i do this is that if you go through even a brief dryspell, it can throw you off keeping a DJ. the point of having one is not just to record the dreams you have, although that is obviously of prime importance, but also it helps you develop a discipline in relation to your dream activity. Hey, it’s worth a try. Just don’t give up! They’ll come back, especially if you insist on continuing to ask for them.
I’ve had periods of intense dream activity and others where the well seemed to dry up completely. Those periods always extended if I let my intent slip.
Where can I find the best DJ site ?
You mean a website? Probably right here…is that what your asking?
/me is confused 
The only reason why I’m posting in here is because I’m in a dream recall dryspell. Recall just seems to come and go…
I remember waking up earlier this morning, knowing that I had dreamed a lot, and I rememberd plenty of it…
Unfortunatley, before I wrote anything down, I fell back asleep and by the time I woke up, nearly all those memories have been wiped out.
It’s frustrating to know a lot has happened, but you don’t know exactly what…
Well I heard that www.dreamview.com is pretty good.
I’m new to this but I have an excellent memory and I remembered 1-2 dreams each day for the past week so do you think I’m ready to try to have a lucid dream?
I think so. 
Good luck! 
I’m the same way. I don’t know what to say about it. what’s even weirder is the latley I’d remember dreams at the strangest times, like last night, I woke up at a time where I’m extremely tired and I’d be like “Ok, I’ll write the dream down.” but I could hardly open my eyes and when I do, I just fall right back to sleep. I wake up in the morning, trying to remember at least just the glimpse of the dream and I’d forget the whole thing before I can write it down. When I do remember something, they are mostly weird, nightmares that seem like an alter ego or I’m like a totally differant person. I agree, I feel like ripping my hair out too.
Your dreamview adress dont work.
I just use dreamjournal.com … Thats the best site I think for that .
how many dreams and of what quality should i remember them before i move onto inducing LD?
so far i have a few fragmented ones each night, but they are all so similar…am i ready? im thinking im not
I am getting so unbelievably frustrated with my dream recall (or lack thereof). My dream recall was great when I was a small child, but for years after it was pretty bad. Then I got into LDs and everything and I had a few nights of fantastic recall and even a few moments of lucidity. Now…I’m not remembering anything. I journal, I will myself to awaken after dream periods, I get enough sleep…but I’m just not remembering anything.
datameister im not a pro at this but from my experience this is how it works
i used to chant to myself and keep telling myself to remember and to wake up and write.
well last night i was trying to do WILD and just fell asleep, so i woke up in the middle of hte night and just said stuff it, i don’t want to write, then i woke up in day time my normal wake up time…i sat in bed or around 20 minutes, reliving my last dream, get out of bed and remember both dreams in the detail they originally were (not much). The key is to just set the intention, i tell myself, “when i wake i’ll remember my dreams” then i just go straight to bed.
Thanks, LucidSpade. I guess I’ll just have to keep pushing through this “dry spell,” and keep setting my intention on remembering…after all, it’s only been a week or so.
When you remember about one dream per night, it’s good. If you just recall fragments of dreams, it’s perhaps not enough indeed.
For a week or more I can’t remember any dreams. Last night i said to my concious: “When I wake up i will remember my dream. I will wake up at 6.10 AM”. And actually i waked up 6.15, but no dream recall. What can be wrong?
I keep an DJ but i don’t really write to it much - because i don’t remember my dreams, maybe sometimes.
I’m in the same predicament you are, harad. I had great recall for a few days, a little over a week ago…
yeh im starting my dry spell, well last night was a little different, my neighbours were fighting and the cops had to be called. I couldnt sleep because it was too hot for hte airconditioner to be turned off and it was too loud. Less sleep and even less Dream Recall
Dryspells are very common. Everybody has them. So nothing is really wrong. Don’t worry and continue to keep your DJ, even if it’s just with fragments or feelings of dreams.
