Like, I get that dreams are probably a way for the brain to sort and store its recent experiences, but why/how do we even remember those dreams? I can’t think of what purpose that could serve, other than to make me question my sanity.

    I don’t remember the vast majority of my dreams, just the basic idea of a handful from the last few decades. Not the details, just the concepts.

    Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of one I know what was going on but then it fades within a few minutes.

      When I was drinking heavily all the time I never dreamed and it was awesome.

      I haven’t had alcohol in a very long time now and I don’t like how vivid dreams can be, most of the time.

        I once spontaneously had a lucid dream. Not a pleasant experience. It’s like walking around a labirynth that shifts constantly. Even when you blink some details get altered. This results in complete desorientation with a hint of panic. There’s no such thing as going from one place to another. Around every corner there’s a different random semi-familiar location. Even looking around alters the environment.
