For a while it was as if i was remembering all of my dreams vividly and even had a few LDs and brief OBEs. but for the past month or so, i can hardly even remember a normal uncontrolled dream.
has anyone else ever hit one of these "dry spots" where you don't experience anything for quite a while? i'm not quite sure what to do. i clear my mind and do all the steps i used to, but nothing seems to happen anymore.
It has absolutely nothing, whatsoever to do with any kind of "shadow memory"...
Your non-physical memory really doesn't work any differently than your physical memory.
It's the same stuff...
When you're trying to remember something here in the physical, you remember those things you have an association with easier... you need to do the same with your non-physical experiences. Upon waking, just lie there for a few minutes... trying to bring to the surface whatever it was you were just experiencing.
Do that over many months and you'll see progress. :)
XANTH dost speaketh the truth.
I hope that method will definitely work for you Eskimoswim..
With the several minutes Xanth mentioned I've dragged what seemed like hours of dream/np memories
out of my subconscious when it seemed like absolutely nothing had happened. It definitely works.
I have had times where I've gone from remembering several dreams each night to nothing for a while. Sometimes I can relate it to stress, but quite honestly, sometimes it just happens. I wouldn't worry about it.

Xanth dost speaketh only his own truth. :)
It's 'doth'... 'Dost' is a second person singular present tense of the word "do"... You mean 'Doth' :lol:
So it's reading as "Xanth do speaks only his own truth"
"Xanth doth speaketh his own truth only" is a fair early english way of saying it.
"Thy dost doeth that" - "I do do that"
"he doth doeth that" - "He does do that"
"Thou doth doeth that, thou dost" - "You do do that, you do"
OK... baaaack on topic.

i usually write dream journals. but when i wake up now i don't remember a single thing, which isn't like me. someone mentioned before that it could be stress related, and i have been very stressed lately. so maybe that is it.
a friend of mine told me he takes a few supplements before sleeping to increase vividness and memory recall. he didn't tell me the name. it for sure wasn't melatonin. perhaps choline? does anyone know of any supplements that help?
Please don't bother with suppliments or drugs.

Can we still get partial credit? 8-)
Yeah.. Of course you can. Bringing early english back deserves a credit.
