So I am sure it has happened to quite a few of you, and I have read some of the accounts on this site. I am curious about how you classify those lucid dreams where you become lucid (or maybe even start out lucid), then forget that it is a dream, and then later on within the same dream recall that you are dreaming and once again become lucid.

I'm just trying to decide if that should be classified as another successful and separate DILD, or if it's simply a continuation of the previous lucid state. Has anyone ever read anything about memory while in the lucid state? If you lose and then regain lucidity, is it because your memory has been modified since the last lucid and you are remembering that you are supposed to be in a dream, or are you just getting better at LDing? I find that when I lose lucidity, it completely evaporates from my mind so I doubt that theory.

Even if you haven't read anything scientific, please post your accounts or opinions, I'd love to read them
