List of Technical issues beknownst to Us : Please set BBCode for IMG tag the following : [IMG width="250px"]
Dream index : Links ought to open Place-holder statement instead of the entry It-self ; unless There's more than 1 Post distance & interruption , then do link directly to the post.
In case of Sleep time being unclear , please do use the equation below to deduce the Start time at Thine Own discretion knowing this is a Guide-line rather than a a rule - lest It clash with Objective facts , use objective facts :
\[ \begin{array}{rl} \text{Let:} \quad & L = \text{№ of Mental-locks recalled} + 1, \\[6pt] & C_{\min} = 1.25\;\text{hrs}, \\[2pt] & C_{\max} = 1.667\;\text{hrs}, \\[6pt] & T_{\text{wake}} = \text{wake-up time (clock time)}, \\[2pt] & T_{\text{sleep}} = \text{total sleep duration (hrs)}, \\[2pt] & T_{\text{onset}} = \text{sleep-onset time (clock time)}. \end{array} \] \[ T_{\text{sleep}} \in \left[L \cdot C_{\min},\; L \cdot C_{\max}\right] \] \[ T_{\text{onset}} \in T_{\text{wake}} - \left[L \cdot C_{\max},\; L \cdot C_{\min} \right] \]
Please start the Dream-logging by first Inscribing the " Placeholder Statement " as specified in Annex I , thereafter ; please proceed directly to transcription of the dream in Full accordance with the template provided in Annex II , moreover ; before initiating any New log , please use the aforementioned annexes , so that You won't stray from the form & the content remaining consistent with the Codified structure while being in an Hypnopompic or Post-hypnopompic state.
ANNEX I
REPEAL BY AMENDMENT № 4
ANNEX II
Please change Dream № : X , TIMECALCULATIONSAGAIN , & State panel if You weren't sober for at least 24 hours before sleeping , else leave State panel on " X Sober ". Remove " Note " & " EVALUATION " fields if not needed.

ANNEX III
In Non-invasive Skin studies , " melanin " is usually quantified via Spectro-photometry , in which a probe - e.g./ the Mexameter® MX 18 - shines light of known Wave-lengths onto the skin and measures how much is absorbed v. reflected ; and with more absorption , Melanin index returns higher , however ; one must note that Different instruments output Their Own Melanin Index ranges , such as : some use 0 - 100 , others 0 - 999 , and some even use Logarithmic - e.g. / log₁₀ of reflectance - ratios. To normalize It to 0 - 1 scale We need the Raw Device read-out , M_raw , and know It's Maximum Possible value , i.e./ M_max - e.g./ 100 or 999 , then We can define 𝑚 = M_raw/M_max , giving Us 𝑚 ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , to elaborate ; or example, if Our probe gives Us M_raw = 23 on a 0 100 scale , then 𝑚 = 0.23 , likewise If It gave Us 230 on a 0 - 999 scale then 𝑚 reads as 0.23 as well , alas ; one shall remember It Ultimately boils down to " Gut instinct " of the person giving the label to the skin.

KEY ;
for Main reasons :
Memory Consolidation failure during transition to C1 : The process of transferring Dream information into Long-term storage getting interrupted during the shift from C2 to C1 , resulting in loss of dream recall data.
External Stimuli interference during somnium : Sensory inputs around the External environment penetrating REM or NREM stages , disrupting ongoing Dream sequences & Impairing Narrative continuity along with Re-call quality.
Executive Function Over-activation : Pre-mature re-engagement of PfC within the Dream state triggers a Rational Assessment processes that destabilizes the Dream environment , leading to fragmentation or collapse.
Semantic satiation & Cognitive drift during Mantra repetition : Repetitive Mental articulation of mantras causing desensitization to Their Semantic content alongside Associative thought , causing an increase in the effort needed to maintain the Necessary focus for Dream-induced lucidity.
for Secondary reasons :
Rapid Unplanned awakening : An abrupt and / or involuntary shift from Sleep state to wakefulness interrupting Active Dream formation or consolidation processes , preventing Memory stabilization.
Absence of Immediate recording method : Forgetting Dream data to Natural Decay curve of Short-term memory due to lack of a Ready-to-use mechanism for placing a Place-holder Statement immediately upon awakening.
Abrupt PfC re-activation : Sudden re-activation of the PfC during REM or Hypnopompic or Post-hypnopompic stages initiating Critical & Reality-checking functions overriding D.M.N. and causing Rapid collapse of the somnium.
