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’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.
