re: Dreams. Who else can remember them every night?

I've been told the REM sleep behavior disorder can be a precursor for things like Parkinson's, so we have that to look forward to!

That’s neat.

Thanks for the encouragement lol.

I remember about 4 dreams a week. I have some common recurring ones:

-teeth falling out
-pulling gum out of my mouth but it never ends
-if there’s fighting or shooting, a lot of it is slow motion
-I also have intense arguments with my parents, but my real relationship with them is great.

I have trouble running in most dreams. I find myself getting on all fours and running like a damn dog.

I also have some weirdly detailed dreams. The other night I dreamt I was at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso. I found some old black athletes running around. They were the first to break the color barrier at UTEP, but this day they were running from gunfire. I’ve been to the stadium, but in my dream the concourses were wider, there were plazas everywhere. They were setting up for LSU playing UTEP. There LSU historical displays everywhere. My dream resumed (presumably after a bathroom break) and I was at the game. LSU dominated, but the fans were hostile and throwing things.

This made zero sense. At some point I was swimming to escape gunfire.

I’ll look into his works.

Overall I have great sleep.
Go to bed on a schedule. Fall asleep quickly. 7.5 -9 hours sleep average.

OP, the reason people remember dreams better than others is directly related to one's level of consciousness is daily life. Those who "sleep walk" thru their day are less likely to remember dreams, while those who live life intensly with conscious attention to the present moment will exercise those faculties in the dream world.

Take it as a sign of being in the moment in your waking life. You should attempt to awaken in your dreams so you can investigate those higher worlds.

To do so, try consciously pulling your own finger or jumping in place, placing the highest attention on this action. If you do this often enough, you will also do it in your dreams at some point. You will then know you're dreaming because your finger will stretch or you will float if you jump in place.

Your faculties of perception sound like they are attuned and prepared for more investigation of the higher worlds.

Interesting. I have in recent years had the ability to recognize I'm in a dream and tell myself to wake up with success. It doesn't always happen and I don't even know how to turn that function on or off, but when it does happen, I am grateful.
