I don't remember any dreams

[jer]

I listened to Erin's audio about lucid dreams, very interesting.

I feel as though I don't dream, because I only remember maybe 1 or 2
dreams a year, and that is just guessing.

Erin, why don't I remember my dreams, am I disconnected or trying to suppress something.

You probably don't remember your dreams because you aren't interested in their content. Seriously, though, if you decide you want to start remembering them, it's every easy. Tell yourself before you go to bed that you'll remember your dreams and that will help. You can also set an alarm to go off in the middle of the night, hopefully while you are dreaming, because when you are interrupted from a dream it's easier to remember.

Thanks Erin,

I did remember something last night, I'll have to keep practicing.

I've noticed that it really is a matter of 'using-it-or-losing-it'. A few months back I was really starting to make progress in remembering a number of dreams a day. But started to fall behind when I didn't record them as much, first thing in the morning, thinking there were more important things to be done when waking. Therefore, my recall started to decline. So, back to recording dreams seriously now, regardless of what has to be done in the morning.

I agree. It really is a skill that you can work on or not and it might slip. For a while i was remembering my dreams every day and writing them down. Now ia m only remembering them a couple times a week. I miss remembering them. So i have started focusing on it again, and it comes back alot faster!

the wiki entry is actually quite helpful
Lucid dreaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

try keeping a pen and paper by your bed even if you don't turn on the light write something immediately upon waking up even just a few words - i have found if i do this in the middle of the night then wake up the words are enough to spark my memory about the dream- it really works - like others said it just takes some practice and concentration.

hi Erin i read ur lucid dreaming n heard ur podcast for a few times, im quite d dreamer kinda person n i been dreaming since i was little.

sometimes i felt d dream so real or sometimes on off during all these yrs i had some dreams which i cannot describe clearly cos i forgotten mostly, but i dreamt of something that kinda reaching out like a finger or claw digging into my belly button, d dream was so intense i couldnt seem to move but i knew wat was going on n i tried hard to resist n often during that climax i will wake up

i also talk or speak or shout during my dreams, during my army times, my bunkmates hav heard me shouting suddenly during middle of night n they have been frightened initially. also sightings of me sitting on my bed n going back to slp did occur n they even recorded my talking or blabbering in a dream during 1 night

also theres some wierd dreams i had as though im in a familiar place n suddenly i felt all naked lol other dream include killing someone i knew and it felt so real, i can even feel d pressure strength emotions etc, also dreamt of a fren who died in a motor accident, he wasnt same army wit me, but i saw him in my bunk sleeping on my frens bed

im a very heavy thinker, i always imagine myself in my own world, being wit a pretty gf etc tons of fantasies, wonder if its normal ? but i did felt good

sometimes i remember my dreams sometimes i dont, but most of the time i remember, but mayb after 1day i tend not to thnk abt it n forget

mayb using ur experience n "super powers" u might be able to enlighten me abit

Yeah, try the superhero motif next time. It is a lot of fun to go all XMen on someone. So much fun!

In my experience, the shortage of Vitamin B in my diet means I don't remember my dreams as well. If I'm making sure I get plenty of B complex, my dreams are vivid and I remember them more easily.
