Thread: Vivid dreams, but bad recall?!

I assumed vivid dreams always equaled good recall, but recently, during a few nights with bad recall in the morning, later in the day, something would trigger the memory of a small dream snippet. The weird thing is, the snippet was so vivid. I remember how real it seemed in the dream and how I was sure it was reality when dreaming it because I was very much in that moment. Yet, I couldn't recall much of those dreams at all- just a tiny sliver- and I only recalled it after some time passed and something triggered it. Don't vivid dreams and good dream recall usually go hand in hand?
