Dream Fragments

[unspeakablehorror]

Sometimes I have these extremely intricate dreams that are just so bizarre that I have trouble putting them down at all simply because it all seemed so cohesive and logical in the dream but in actuality none of it made any sense at all, so I'll have these dreams with incredibly complex plots and high stakes but all I can write down in my dream log is, just, fleeting snatches of images and out-of-context actions.  It's just a jumble of images and snippets of conversation and events that I have trouble making any sense of at all.  Nevertheless these kinds of dreams can be incredibly vivid so I'll wake up with the memory of some intense imagery and a sense of urgency.

This is nearly all of my dreams! (All the ones I remember upon waking up, anyway.) I actually kind of assumed that this was the norm, but it sounds like that kind of vivid-yet-disjointed dream is less common for you?

Sleeping brains are weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How coherent my dreams are varies greatly. I have a fair number of dreams where what's happening in the dream defies my ability to explain it. But many others would be fairly easy for me to describe, even if they're weird or nonsensical. Some of my dreams have a consistent narrative throughout; others meander aimlessly. Some of my dreams mimic real life so closely it takes me some time after waking to realize it was actually a dream. Some of my dreams are extremely fantastical. Occasionally I've even experienced lucid dreaming, though that's pretty rare and I don't control when that happens.
