Do you dream/how often?

Do you know why you personally dream or what personally causes you to remember dreams?

I tend to remember dreams more when I sleep in or if I'm woken up in the middle of a dream, but not if I dream in the middle of the night and sleep through it. And if I don't think about my dream when I wake up, then I forget as well. But I do remember quite a few of my dreams, especially this summer since I've slept in a lot. It also helps to get the recommended amount of sleep or you might not reach the REM cycle, because it takes a long time to reach that state. Usually if I don't sleep well I don't remember any dreams.

IDK 'why'... but I dream all the time, often lucidly, and I usually remember. I love it, I consider myself lucky, even if bad dreams can be really intense. I day dream too, if that counts

I've had a reoccurring dream that I get often enough. I've been having that same dream for as long as I can remember.

Other than that particular dream, as a child, I didn't remember most of my dreams, but I'm sure I still had dreams. I do often end up day-dreaming though.

Lately, I've been recalling dreams once I wake up more often and find myself quite shocked at some of the things my mind is coming up with.

I'm not sure if dreams have a special meaning or if it is just a jamble of the days' events that your brain is trying to squirm through. I don't know if they have some sort of secret message or if our subconscious is trying to communicate something with us.

Every night, i even happen to often talk when i sleep. But i don't remember them each time. I've noticed that i don't do nightmares which will wake me up, it's more ... confusing dreams.


Like yesterday i was dreaming i was in a circus dressed as a clown and that i was performing a session of trapeze in front of a silent public. There was a showman telling how awesome i was on my trapeze, but at one time he suddenly disappeared. So i stopped my representation and told to the public : "he must be in the toilets taking a crap". But nobody was laughing at my joke and i could feel their eyes starring at me in a moment of silence, so i said "oh well. go fuck yourselves."

Then i suddenly woke up with a head ache *what the fuck*.

How would you psychoanalyze that ? haha

I really like dreaming. I haven't remembered any dreams recently though.

that would make a great short film IMO !

I remember my lucid dreams often.
My most reoccurring dream is one where I lose my shoes.

I remember my dreams best when I wake up in the afternoon - not sure why.

My favorite dreams are the ones where I am floating high above land.

Some of the scariest ones involve a plane crashing right next to me, and me running from it. I've had that dream quite a few times in the last couple of years.

I always lucidly dream and most of the time I can remember them vividly. The main senses used in my dreams are sight and hearing (obviously) but from time to time, I would have a dream that uses the sense of touch, usually in a nightmare, with spiders crawling on more or something
