can LD's be forgotten?

Yes they can be forgotten.

I always have dreams and im woken up by my alarm clocks. Wile im shutting them off I remember the dream clearly, but when I go to the bathroom after I do not remember the dream at all. So remember to record your LD's.

I can forget what I did yesterday, and you think I'll remember all my dreams? hahahaa

Just a precision...  To forget something does not necessarly mean to loose the memory of it...  with a little effort, you can get back some (all?) "lost" memories.

hmm... all i can remember is that the dream was about one of my projects... i'm working on a massive multiplayer online role playing game (mmorpg) and i think that the dream was about it... it's important to me to write down all ideas...

anybody can tell me of some dream-remembering techniques?

[Nagual]

Hum...  a very basic "trick" is to just go through random common things (house, car, tree, building, etc...) and hope that one will trigger a bit of memory.  Then, from this bit of memory, you try to expand...  But it works best when you just woke up.  Or maybe you could try to re-enter the same dream...

You can avoid forgetting dreams when you wake up by not ever waking up. I will offer you this service for the low price of only $500,000. No refunds. No pictures. No guarantee that it will be painless or fast.

hehehe
but will you guarantee that it will work?

I find that the best way to remember dreams is to get in the habit of writing them down each morning.  At first you can't remember anything, and then after awhile you just remember bits and pieces.  After awhile you'll get much better at remembering multiple dreams each night.

Also, when you first wake up and are thinking about the dream, stay still and review it in your mind.  Make a few quick mental notes from which you can reconstruct the dream, for example:   Mom's house...two-headed bear...roller coaster...restaurant.  Then, before going back to sleep again, if possible, write down as much as you can remember in your handy-dandy bedside dream journal!  Even if you don't write it down right away, just having reviewed it in your mind and come up with those little notes will help you to remember it in the morning.

I believe doing this every day greatly increases the chances of remembering not only regular dreams, but lucid dreams and OBEs.

a few days ago i had a lucid dream... i know it was lucid but in the middle of it i was fully awaken by the phone after the talk i forgot what was it (the dream) all about and i just can't remeber it whatever i do... so, can lucid dreams be forgotten?
