Hey all! I first heard about lucid dreaming about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have made a dream journal. The first night I recalled 5 dreams! I was very excited! That was around the end of June. After that I was remembering amazing dreams! I drew pictures of the things I saw, and wrote in great detail about them. And now if I read my descriptions I can still remember them as good as I did when I had first dreamt them. However, for awhile- around June 18th til the present, I haven't been able to recall many dreams. If I'm lucky, I can only recall one a night. It's quite disappointing, and I'm rather sad about it. Could it be from lack of sleep? That's what I'm thinking, anyways. I'm not too sure. I've done LOTS of reading up on lucid dreaming, hours and hours. But I can't seem to find any tips on how to re-develop good dream recall. I used to be SO good at it! And then went away for a week, so I couldn't keep my dream journal there- and now I'm back to where I started, and even worse off because sometimes I wake up not even remembering dreams. Please help me! And I'm sorry if these are stupid questions.

As for lucid dreams- in the past month and a half I have had 2 or 3. Maybe more, but I just simply can't remember them

One- I was looking at myself. Then I realized I was dreaming, got excited, and woke up
And the other one- We were cliff jumping and the cliff was really quite high and all you could see in the water were jagged rocks coming up out of it. I realized that since we didn't die, that I must be dreaming! I tried to fly, by jumping up into the air. I jumped a few feet in the air a couple of times. But it just didn't work! I read lots of the posts in these forums today. And I now know the technique of how to get into the air. However, after jumping and trying to fly, I moved into another dream. This other dream this mouse was chasing me at a friends' house and kept trying to attack me. I think I killed it and then felt bad and brought it back to life. Then something happened and I totally forgot I was dreaming and then I was unable to control my actions anymore and cannot remember the rest of that dream.
