Yes, I know I'll probably get screamed at for not knowing what I'm talking about, so I'm just giving you the facts:

I usually have pretty good dream recall, about 2-3 long dreams per night.

I started keeping a dream journal about a week ago to try and do better.

Since starting the journal my recall has plummeted, and each entry is literally about a paragraph (or more) shorter than the one before it.

Last night and the night before, I had exactly zero recall whatsoever. Not even a feeling or a weird concept. Zero. It was as if I had closed my eyes for a while, opened them, and no time had passed. This NEVER happens to me.

Has anyone else had anything like this affect your recall? Is there a connection or is it a coincidence? Any general information about DJs and recall that I'm obviously ignorant of?
