A couple of years ago, my coworkers talked about having covid brain fog. One said her brain felt like it had a teflon coating. Nothing could stick to it anymore. I had Covid in 2020. I didn't get teflon brain in my conscious day to day life but now wonder if maybe it affected my ability to recall dreams. I can not recall them as easily or as in depth as I could prior to contracting the disease. And I'm having a hell of a time trying to carry my intentions over into the dreaming space. I could be just that out of practice. Or lack of dreaming companions and converse with. Or perhaps it's my age. I don't know.

I'm wondering if anyone else noticed complications with dream recall, intentions, or attaining lucidity after being ill?
If so, what methods did you use to pump up your dreaming muscles again?
