You don’t just go from being awake, to a discontinuity, to back awake? You remember something happening in there? But, it didn’t really happen?

Odd.

And you say this happens with most people?

For the subtle impaired, I don’t typically recall my dreams. (assuming I do have them every night.) At a guess, I would say I remember them 3 or 4 times a year.

It is what it is.

Uh, so the old-fashioned black rotary phone ringing in the middle of the desert means…?? and the child riding on the back of a giant hamster symbolizes ???

I’ve gotten those “need to clean” type dreams, too.

I hope you don’t have more dirty dishes show up

I have always recalled my dreams (at least within waking if not later in the day!) and have lately tried to see if I could “control” a dream as in Lucid Dreaming. I have had moments when I’m in the dream and aware that hey, I’m…dreaming. A VERY long time ago I remember thinking, Hey, since I’m in a dreamworld, I should be able to imagine that I could fly. This was kinda funny and very indicative of how “powerful” I felt at hmm, age maybe 23? I was able to “hover” about 3 feet off the ground and didn’t get much speed. I hope to do better the next time!
