HEY GUYS!! I just woke up from a nightmare that I (unfortunately) remember very vividly (ಥ_ಠ). Despite my memory being dodgy at best about everything else, I remember dreams really well.

SO! QUESTION!!!! Do you guys tend to remember your dreams after you wake up? Or are they completely gone? Do you dream at all? :0

I pretty much always forget my dreams like instantly after waking up, but recently I've been trying to remember them by thinking about dreaming while I'm going to bed and then I try to write them down the second I wake up so now I have a bunch of really random dreams where I use to remember like 1 every few months. :)
Oooh!! That’s so interesting, it’s so cool that you’ve been slowly remembering!! :DD
I don't usually remember my dreams but when I do, I know it would have an influence in how my day goes
sometimes I remember sometimes I dont but what is weird is that sometimes I am not sure if a memory was a dream or it really happened
Omg I get that too sometimes! There’ll also be locations in my dream that I’m SURE I’ve seen in real life, but I can’t quite recall..
Augh, sorry to hear about your nightmare!! •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

My dreams are always very vivid. I try to replay them in my mind once I wake up so I can remember them. I've been dreaming a lot more recently, but I usually don't dream a whole lot.

Annoyingly, my nightmares tend to be more vivid. Some of these nightmares only scare people I recall them to, though. Half my nightmares leave me intrigued or plain confused when I wake up.

I also rewind a lot in my dreams. It's like a more intense daydream I'm orchestrating. Like...I'll go back to retry a scene in my dreams. However, I don't actually acknowledge this when I'm dreaming. It's like a second nature.
Oooh?? That’s so intriguing. The rewinding part!! It’s so interesting!! I wonder if that means something psychologically? :>
Sorry to hear about ur nightmare. I hope it wasn't too bad :[

But ya I remember every single dream. I have VERY lucid dreams and most of the time they just stick in my mind until I write it down. I was one of those ppl in 2021 that had (and still have) a dream journal :P
WOAHHH THATS SO COOL!! I have a notes app thingy where I write my dreams but sometimes I’m just so unnerved that I don’t wanna write one down HAHAHA
I don't usually remember my my dreams but I have remembered some bits of my dreams or how it made me feel (kinda feels like walking in a room and forgetting why you walked here but still knowing kind of that it was important). Recently tho I have been having a LOT of very strange and somewhat very personal dreams about people of my past being in them. I asked my sister about it and she said it had something to do with Jupiter or something.
Jupiter? :0 interesting… I know dreams can have symbolism I’m pretty sure? And same I’ve been having really strange dreams (ToT) I heard vivid dreams are a sign of stress, but not sure how scientific that is?
I have dreams but i can rarely remember them past the first few minutes of waking up. I do remember one i had recently tho i had a nightmare that the world was ending and it was my faul and the world was gonna end tomorrow so when I woke up and realised everything was fine it was such a relief ToT. I don't remember most dreams with all that much coherence tho
HELP.. it’s a good thing that’s not the case… I usually feel relief waking up from nightmares but recently it’s been dread lol. That’s really interesting though!!
I almost always remember my dreams, they're always pretty vivid which is usually fun but does make for pretty terrible nightmares on occasion.
Last night I dreamt I raised a kitten and now I miss her because I spent months taking care of her :^[
NOOOOOO THE KITTEN… it’s ur sign…. Ur subconscious wants you to raise a kitten…
i have such vivid dreams allll the time last night i was dreaming about being in a swimming pool (i cant swim) and people making fun of me saying "we gonna have to push this kid in" there was loads more about it but it makes no sense ( there was a part where i was trying to find someone, then i was trying to run a bath in a hotel but i couldnt cuz there was a fire place... idk man lolz) but i have nightmares alot. i dont remember everything obviously but if you do wanna remember ur dreams better a dream diary is great for it (message me about it if you wanna know more) i hope you feel okay though because i know nightmares can really mess with your head , xoxox
OOOH A DREAM DIARY IS AN AWESOME IDEA!!! And thank you I unfortunately had another one last night audgwidhjdh hope this blows over soon.

I can def relate to the vivid dreams part, it’s so odd!! I remember dreams I had years ago and sometimes they continue!! Does that ever happen for you?
when i wake up because of something i usually don't remember my dream at all. i can tell i had one but i don't remember the details at all. when i wake up naturally i often do remember the last one i had though with a lot of details. i even have a dream diary lol. also there are dreams i had years ago that i still remember to this day very vividly. i even have created a universe from one of such dreams a couple years ago. abandonned it after meeting one of the characters from the dream irl ( i have drawn him before and he still looks exactly like the character from my dream )
Oooh!! That’s so interesting, a universe?? And meeting him IRL WHAAAAA THATS SO!! COOL!!
I have been dreaming more lately, though I usually do not remember my own dreams. I know I had a dream last night but I do not remember many details, I think a couple video game characters were in it.
Ooh I see!! It’s always strange when it’s all foggy like that
I sometimes remember what I dream, the times I do; I do end up writing it down. So far I've had maybe like four dreams connect. But yes there's times where I just sleep and don't dream anything at all :')
I wonder what makes some dreams connect…
My dreams are usually pretty weird. Mostly I forget my dreams once I wake up or very quickly, although a few very vivid or lucid dreams will be remembered. I lucid dream a bit, but even those are still hard to remember clearly over time (T^T)
I have really vivid dreams and they are always so complex that they literally have subplots. It does make nightmares suck though :/. I either don't dream a lot or don't remember most of my dreams, but the ones I do are really memorable. Three of my weirdest dreams were
1. When I was little, I dreamed that somebody kidnapped my mom and cut her nose off for some reason. Needless to say, wasn't keen on going and sleeping my parents' room after that one.
2. I don't tend to have more common dreams but I did have a dream that started off as an "all your teeth are falling out" nightmare that turned into a superhero dream with a romantic side plot somehow?
3. I've only had one lucid dream and it was one where I was back in kindergarten but I had full memory that I just graduated high school a few weeks ago and that was super weird (like I didn't even try to be lucid about it I just was). It was weirdly Alice in Wonderland until the insane shenanigans somehow convinced me that it was real(like I thought I was trapped there and that I had to repeat all of school).

(Sorry for the yapfest ^^', I like yapping about my weird dreams)
That's really cool. I also have complex dreams sometimes, and they're even cooler when they're lucid! That being said, some of my nightmares have been lowkey traumatic for some reason. Like really disturbing and scary in kind of effectual ways. It's weird. But I do like a fun story dream, it's great!! I especially like making myself fly in my lucid dreams!
Oh goodness the side plots that’s so interesting and surreal!! I have those in my nightmares but usually not in normal dreams, those dreams sound so scary though??? The lucid one would have me spiraling (TwT). From what I’ve seen on this thread people seem to remember weird dreams, maybe they stick in our subconscious more!!

unless I make some sort of active effort to remember it right after I wake up, I usually forget. occasionally tho something during the day will trigger some déjà vu about the dream
Oooh deja vu is such a weird feeling! Do you get it often? :0
i dont think i get it often, but a lot of my déjà vus happen during text. like i could swear ive had those conversations before despite no proof do back my claim
it is very rare that i remember my dreams and they are never interesting. I dream about things that are very normal and typical in my life so sometimes it doesn't click that it was dream until hours later.
Oh god, during uni I always dream I’ve woken up and had breakfast and done my whole morning routine. Then I wake up to a blaring alarm and am so hungry, confused and disoriented (T-T)
ooh dreams...they are such weird little visualizations while you're sleeping...

I don't usually remember my dreams, but when I do, they appear in my head vividly.

There was a dream I remember from at least 2 years ago now. I distinctly remember driving home on like a tractor(?) the road with a guy. I don't remember what the guy looked like, but I put my head on his lap. It was so cute, but I remember being so embarrassed in my dream.

Can't say that the dream affected my reality because cut to me 3 months later getting rejected by a guy. Maybe I just really wanted him... (._. ;;)
Oh goodness that ending (TwT). That is such an adorable dream though!! Definitely the most wholesome I’ve seen in this thread :3
there would be days where i dont remember my dreams but recently actually i remembered my dreams like 2 days in a row?? sometimes i see something in my dream thats really vivid so i try to remember it incase it means something?? last super vivid thing was probably some kind of arcade machine idk hasnt appeared yet lol
It’s ur sign to go to the arcade and play Street Fighter on the machines!!!!!!!
@mireinji9 yeah!! I reckon the rewinding is just a consequence of making up scenarios in my head all the time.
OOOH I SEE!! Like directing scenarios but during sleep LOL
sometimes my dreams are like movies where they're really interesting so right when i wake up i write it down; other than that if a dream isn't that interesting i let it fade
Ooh I see!! I’d love to hear abt an interesting one if ur open? :D
ofc! one of the most memorable ones was like a demon infiltrated an elementary school, classic plans of wanting to open a portal in the human world for demon takeover. there was a whole side romance between two teachers who knew each other since university. ;D had dramatic framing, symbolism even
NOOOOOO RAH I HATE NIGHTMARES.. and I relate to that fragments part… so much of my memory is interlinked w dreams idk where reality starts and ends
There's times I remember my dreams but most of the time I completely forget. Unfortunately, the ones I remember were very uncomfortable but I honestly think that's majority of my dreams T-T
NOOOOOO sob. I hope you get a lovely dream soon and you remember it forever!!
I remember most of my dreams when I wake up. But after a while, I forget everything, only a feeling remains. That's why I write down my dreams right after waking up. They are very interesting and inspiring; I've done projects and written stories based on my dreams.
Ooh I see!! It’s so interesting that others have like, a brain timer for writing down dreams before they forget lol!! And taking inspiration from dreams is such a good idea :DD
i only remember if it's a nightmare! been like this since i was probably 7-8 i think... sigh
of some i do forget details but i have the general idea still
I used to always remember, but lately, it’s been foggy- it sucks cuz I hate sleep in general but dreams usually make it okay. I have remembered one recently tho, and it was Ticci Toby giving me a lot of skelanimals and this duck was dancing in the middle of a work office lobby making up a weird song, lol
its like a half half. ill remember some bits with striking clarity and other times it'll be all blurry hope you had a good day after that nightmare tho 3
