Well, it's natural to go through times when you don't feel like doing ritual and try and get out of them etc. Pushing through is basically the only thing you can do during those times, eventually they ease up, a test of will, I suppose you could say.
As for the not remembering dreams problem, when you wake up, don't move, just look into your mind and see if you can remember anything, moving causes the astral self to go properly back into the physical, so it's harder to remember. A mantra I've found useful for remembering dreams if they don't seem to come is RAOM GAOM, which you should chant internally, elongated of course.
