 Dreams and Lucid Dreaming: How to Remember Your Dreams
During a lucid dream, we can ask for further details about a previous non-lucid dream; we might also be able to replay that previous dream (although certain components will probably be different when the dream is restated).
Dream recall might be subject to many influences: our physical health, wakeful emotional state, degree of wakeful mental activity (due to school examinations or learning a new job), dietary changes, the phase of the moon, or a natural rhythm in which we have periods when recall is simply more difficult.
When dream recall doesn't occur, one reason might be the fact that the some dreams cannot be grasped by the conscious mind; those dreams are too alien to our wakeful world, and perhaps too subtle or archetypal or "mystical" to be translated into symbols and memories which are apprehendable to the conscious mind.
