Another word for the phenomenon of not remembering dreams
I am looking for a word for the phenomenon due to which you are not able to remember dreams.
Example usage (in case the question is not clear) - Person A : The dream involved elephants, Megan Fox and a pole but I'm not able to recall it correctly... Person B : Damn You "Phenomenon Name"!!!
Person B: Damn You, “Evanescence”!!!
