I have a feeling I put this in the wrong section, but didn't know where else to put it, so sorry.

Anyway, for the longest time, I used to be able to remember my dreams, down to the smallest detail. I would be able to remember where the dream began, everything that happened in my dream, and exactly where my dream ended when I woke up. Even after I started going out with my current girlfriend, she even enjoyed me telling her about funny, weird, stupid dreams I had, and she would tell me that she can't remember her dreams. But as of just not too long ago, maybe about a month or so ago, I can't remember ANY part any of my dreams, and suddenly she is saying she can remember her dreams.

Anyone got any ideas?

You can probably find lots of info about simple exercises you can try to train yourself to remember dreams, just by googling "dream recall" or "lucid dreaming." Some of the basics:

Frequently during the day, stop and ask yourself, "Am I dreaming this?" (It doesn't matter what you answer, it's just training your brain to track the dreaming state).

After getting into bed, as you drift off, keep telling yourself, "I remember my dreams."

As soon as you wake up (don't wait, don't do anything else first), write down anything you can remember, even if it's just a snippet, a color, a sound, in a dream journal. In time, recall will improve.

Wake yourself up about an hour or two before your normal wake-up time, then go back to sleep for that hour or two. That's the best time for vivid dreaming. A simple way to do this is to just drink enough water before bed that you have to get up and pee around 4:00 a.m.

Anyway, even for Dreamers like me, it goes in cycles. It will probably come back, especially if you work on it, but without forcing yourself or beating yourself up if it doesn't happen immediately. Be patient.

It's weird how your dreaming ability shifted to your girlfriend. It is possible that you gave her your gift of vivid dreaming in a psychic way by sharing your dreams with her the way you did. But that's OK. The gift of dreaming is like the gift of love. You can give it away without running out. The fact that you were able to give her this gift probably means you have the gift of dreamwalking, where if you and she work on it together you will be able to share dreams, meet in dreams, have the same dream the same night, stuff like that.

I used to have very vivid dreams that I would remember quite clearly as well. Then I hit my 30s. It may have something to do with age.
