In my case when this happens I don't care, because I've already graduated and I can't for the life of me imagine why I decided to take more courses. Then I figure out I have no idea what to do with my life after school and end up signing up again.

Yeah, I get that, too, sometimes. I just wonder why on earth I signed up for this course and how on earth I forgot to attend classes...Quote:

hahaha I've got to remember to try that! Do you still get the dreams after you've done that?Quote:

When things inevitably don't go according to plan, I take it better irl than I do in the dream environments. One is less hindered by inhibitations and so forth in dreams, so my reactions become more pronounced (extreme stress, hopeless outlook on the situations, etc) in the dreams, which makes them easier to remember. An interesting mechanic.
Maybe the lesson in my case is to be more open-ended; to allow more experiences to infiltrate my day, as opposed to locking down the gameplan in the morning.
I want to point out that the insight I've gleaned from the discussion thus far has been extremely helpful for me in terms of figuring out why they're occuring and what to do about it. I don't feel the mystery is solved yet though. Furthermore, I've decided against attempting the subconcious reprogramming, since I feel there are things I need to learn here still.
