I don’t really dream. It’s extremely rare to the point where I’ll have a handful in a year and I don’t remember them. Waking up with an emotional reaction to an odd dream inspired by life events or entertainment… Then the details slip away from me and I can’t even talk to anyone about the experience.

What’s it like for you?
Do you enjoy, dislike or analyze your dreams?
Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

    I’m similar to you, but probably not as bad. I don’t often remember my dreams, or I might wake up with a fragment of a memory in my head: “Oh no! I need to let someone know the cats are playing cards in the oven!” But any of the context is lost. Also, if I don’t immediately focus on that fragment and try to remember more about it, it will disappear from my mind completely.

    Sometimes, I’ll get a big chunk of the story, or multiple fragments that I can chain together to figure out the overall plot of the dream, but that’s only a few times a year, if that.

    I wish I remembered more of them more frequently. I find them very entertaining.

      Yeah I get fragments too.

      Usually wake up to some pieces of life in a zombie apocalypse… And I was a blacksmith? Making bullets? Farming tools? WTH

          I’ve always been fond of working with my hands but growing up and living in apartments doesn’t support wood or metal working.

          I’m a keyboard jocky my whole life.
