I'm not sure if this is normal but I prefer sleeping without experiencing dreams/nightmare. Whenever I do, I wake up tired from the dream whether it was good or bad.

For me it's the opposite. When I have dreams is when I'm the most well rested. However, I've noticed that I don't seem to start dreaming until after I've gotten plenty of sleep, so I'm guessing my dreams start when the most important parts of sleep are already over.

whenever I had a good dream, it made me so sleepy I want to sleep again so I can continue it

that's why i hate my job sometimes. if i had no job or those flexible with my time, i can just dream as long as i want.

I wish I knew what my dreams were. I rarely experienced them and according to my family, I sleeptalk a lot, which meant my brain is going loco but my consciousness doesn't realize.

What kinda fucking cuckery is that?

I'm pretty jealous cause for a long period of my life I never had any dreams so most of the nights were dreamless. However, recently I've been dreaming/having nightmares more which is a pain for me.

Sleeptalking is definitely an interesting phenomenon. I've heard multiple instances of two people having a conversation together from sleep talking.

I also have the same experience. But the problem is I am dreaming almost every night and I always remember it when I wake up. Although my sleep is interrupted, I still can remember my previous dream vividly. Sometimes I dreaming of two different dreams each night and always wake up tired in the morning. Sometimes I wonder, am I normal?

Me too! I have many dreams each night. They often wake me up which can make me tired in the mornings if I don't get back to sleep. Sometimes they're interesting, but half the time they are nightmares.

I made a writing prompt thread for posting dreams that are interesting. Somebody else also did, I think.

I only remember my dreams if I wake up in the middle of one. I used to dream a lot in school but as I got a better sleeping schedule they kinda dissapeared. I do remember one or two every few months but it is pretty rare.

I have a dream journal when I was in high school. But I never write it anymore after my parents found it. They think I wrote about nonsense... (well, they all nonsense. It's a dream anyway.)

i think most of my common nightmares is having to deal with work or school, even inside my dream. especially ones where i was forced to take a test which i didn't even understand.

at that point, i will just think that it's not my friggin' business anymore and i somehow able to control my dreams for the better.

the usual scary stuff like being chased by ghosts, being in a horror place, and fighting undeads felt exciting in comparison.

wish i'd remember more of it. i didn't really remember my dreams much, and if i did, i'm too lazy to write it down.

You need to feed your mind with quality knowledge, avoid the news, obsessing with problems, violence, noise, etc. Get a nice book or see philosophical quotes on youtube videos, anything that makes you feel energized or relaxed, do exercise, etc.

I had nightmares everyday for a large period of my life, got my mind out of violence and took some life changing decisions and became dreamless, then the nightmares and normal dreams returned, feed my mind with good things, got rid of the bad ones, and repeat. Now I'm basically dreamless, I dream twice a week, sometimes more; and everything is a message for myself, rarely it's "day noise" without meaning, I interpret my dream and apply the lesson. So for me dreams became something important to guide my life, that's why they're rarely needed and I dream less than before.

I have a superstition that, once I tell people about my dreams, they won't happen again. That's why I don't tell people about the best dreams and only tell people about the dreams I don't want to have ever again.

That being said . . .
I had a really weird dream about sneaking into my ex's house with my husband because we needed a place to sleep, and we were hiding behind the couch hoping he wouldn't notice us. I have to say that's one of the most disturbing dreams I've had in a long time.

Also, in a more semi-conscious state, I had the impression that my mind was a snail's shell, and the middle had been burned out by my ex, or rather his demons. I have my own theories about fending off attacks from demons, so . . . sorry, I know this is getting really weird now, but sharing it is my way of banishing it from my life.

If my dreams are ever interrupted, I forget everything almost immediately as I wake up. I remember I had a dream but the details are very scarce and muddled.

Actually, from what I heard it's really funny. Cause the sleeptalking conversation is really wacky.

I had nightmares everyday for a large period of my life, got my mind out of violence and took some life changing decisions and became dreamless, then the nightmares and normal dreams returned, feed my mind with good things, got rid of the bad ones, and repeat.
Oddly enough for me, I have more nightmares/dream whenever I get into a relationship. Whenever I'm single the number of dreams/nightmare I get substantially decrease.

That's an interesting and strange superstition, how did you get it?

That's a reflection of your insecurities and fears concerning relationships, unfortunately I can't help with that.

I think it came from when I was a kid and had a really good dream, and I told someone, and the dream never came to me again. So now, I see good dreams as a kind of secret I am supposed to keep.

Mind sharing some cause' I'm heavily interested rn
It's been a while now since I can't remember the exact details. I remember a friend had a sleepover party and they told me that two of the people at the sleepover were sleeptalking about shopping and buying a giant duck toy.

Oddly enough, it wasn't about the relationship as I rarely dream about my SO but rather more about really weird things.
