I saw another thread talking about dreams, I've had less than a handful of dreams throughout my life.

Do you dream? Every night?

I dream. Sometimes during the day, sometimes during the night.

I remember none of them.

I pretty much only dream when I can go back to bed after waking up. Not the most common occurance, but it happens

I've found that I dream a lot, I just forget quickly, which can feel like not dreaming. For a while I kept a very light dream journal, just writing down whatever small thing I remember, even if it's just a feeling or something super vague. Don't worry if you don't remember anything initially — just being in the mindset was enough to boost my recall. Key is to do it right after waking up, while you're almost still half asleep. Write on paper with a pen, not your phone — it's too distracting.

During that period I remembered multiple dreams each night in full, and the memories were incredibly vivid, sometimes almost lucid. It was honestly crazy — some of those dreams had elaborate storylines, often super interesting scenery, and sometimes even almost video game-like "mechanics". I can only recommend keeping a dream journal... you learn a lot about yourself.

Rarely. I find I dream more when I have anxiety (and they are typically unpleasant dreams, though not always), and I try to reduce anxiety in my life by being proactive and prepared for things.

I dream every night.

I just remember a dream when I wake up every 5+ years.

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I dream often, usually I am able to remember them if I want to but never really bother unless it sticks out as a great story. It tends to happen when I'm about to wake up and while I'm in that mid sleep twilight zone. (Think of trying to back to sleep after an alarm, that kinda sleep)

I would also like to mention that my sleep in incredibly messed up. I have a sleep condition that causes me to wake multiple times an hour so my rest is awful and I'm eternally exhausted.

Not currently due to factors that are changing at the end of the week. I’ve been wondering how I’ll respond to remembering dreams again.

I don’t remember my dreams most nights. I also have a terrible memory so it doesn’t surprise me. I go to sleep blissfully and wake up realizing time has past but not remembering anything I dreamt. Sounds awful but I don’t typically like the dreams I do have (usually brought on by me being too hot while asleep).

I dream every night. My dreams are vivid and weird as hell. Idk if it's the result of one of my medications or my epilepsy or what, but my dreams have always been strange. Most of them have some reoccurring elements such as:

Being trapped in an enclosed aquarium of cold, dark water with a hungry orca

Being chased by the Amish while my little sister (who does not know how to drive) drives the car through the woods. She crashes into a tree every time.

Being in the passenger or back seat of my car while it's moving and scrambling to get back to the driver's seat.

Being back in high school, but knowing that I'm not supposed to be there.

Getting a horse (something I've desperately wanted for years. Had them growing up and loved it)

Work

I dream a lot, but how vivid they are and how much I remember them varies. Sometimes they're very visual, weird or interesting, but often they're vague and hard to recall. I find that if I'm not getting enough sleep I don't dream as much, but then if I'm on holiday and catching up on sleep I dream pretty hard.

لم أعد أرى أي حلم. كأن أحلامي نفدت...
