How do I recover completely forgotten dreams?

I know I'm not adding anything to answer the OP's question, but I too am very curious about this. If there was in fact a way to pull forth memories from deep in the mind, I would be extremely interested in exploring some of the memories my brain stored long ago

It's to my understanding that some people have had conversations with their unconscious mind. Perhaps, if you were to ask yourself for specific information that you know has been stored, it can be drawn from the unconscious. The more that I think about this, the more it makes me want to try it out!

Theoretically it makes sense. Since we are able to explore the depths of our mind while lucid, it's possible that there is a way to access the vast vault that stores our memories.

Haha yea but there is one catch. Your unconscious mind is the biggest troll ever!!!

Well, I did try to speak to my "subconscious mind" to see if I could start remembering again. This has worked in the past many times but not consistently. Anyways, I woke up in a panic the other night twice with my "answer" which was no, you don't want to remember your dreams. Obviously I am still dealing with a great deal of anxiety over having to deal with my nightmares again. Doing my best to work through this psychological block. Thanks for your replies

I have a suggestion.
If you become lucid and you try to wake yourself up during the nightmares, there is a solution. Instead of waking yourself up, appreciate the fact that you're lucid. Face your harmless fears (they can't do a thing to harm you) and use them as dream signs. If you've managed to not wake yourself up, fire back with a rocket launcher or a punch. Don't think about that part; just do it.
