Do you remember your dreams?
Dream diary by Roman Muradov, via biblioklept.
We don’t seem to. We’re sure that at some point in our 8 or 9 hours of sleep every night (This is our real talent, sleeping) we have dreams, but when we wake up we usually don’t remember a single one. Which is too bad because the few we do remember would make some weird short stories. We’ve tried ordering ourselves to recall our dreams, and keeping a notebook by the bed, to no avail. (On the other hand we remember stories our friends have forgotten they told us years ago.)
But if we get up after dawn to go to the bathroom and then go back to sleep, we remember the dreams we have in the next 2-3 hours.
The dream we remember most vividly is the one where a vampire flies into the kitchen while we’re having breakfast with our parents. We had it when we were 10 or so. In the dream the vampire grabs us, and in our terror we look at our mother and father, and they wave, “Buh-bye! Buh-bye!”

Yes! At one point I actually continued a dream I was having even after waking up and going back to sleep.

Ejia: Then there’s the dream where you think you’ve already woken up and gone to work.

i keep a dream journal and mostly note down the dreams that weirds me out.
one time, I dreamed of my ex (he’s a psychopath narcissist in real life). in the dream he was convincing me that he’s changed but I didnt believe him. then, I was shouting at an old woman in the dream who was starting to believe what my ex was saying and I was telling her to NOT believe any word my ex was saying.
the next day, my mother called me to say she received an email from my ex. the email was an apology addressed to me (I didnt receive it as I blocked him from my accounts) and he was relating a personal tragedy – a tragedy which prompted the (psuedo)apologetic email. I told my mother to NOT believe him as I saw the email – whether it was true or not – as a hooking tactic (which I later confirmed when I asked 2 people from the US – one of whom was giving training to US law enforcement with regards to detecting deception – and to a friend – to analyze its content. all of them said it was a selfish letter and something an average-intelligent psychopath would write. I sent all these to my mother but she still wont believe me and I was telling her — I was shouting at her over the phone explaining to her why she shouldnt believe any word in the letter – when I suddenly remembered my dream.

cheezmiss: Your dream is much more coherent than the ones we remember.
