This used to only happen once in a blue moon back when I was in a good rhythm and having more success with LD's and dream recall, but here recently its been happening more frequently. It happened again today so I thought maybe you guys would have some tips.

When my alarm goes off I try to immediately remember as much about my dream activity as possible. I have to close my eyes to get the visual and that's when things go bad. I fall asleep while trying to remember and then I lose everything.

This morning I had a visual and I started back tracking and the next thing I knew it was 5 minutes later and I had lost everything.
