      More vivid dreams in the afternoon

      I have noticed how when I go to sleep in the afternoon (like for 2-3 hours) I sometimes end up having dreams (just normal dreams, not lucid), and the dreams are more vivid. When I wake up I can recall these afternoon dreams more than I can recall dreams that occur at night. The afternoon dreams are just more vivid. Has this happened to anyone? Because I noticed the difference in dreams that occur in afternoon naps and sleep at night.

      If you're cutting your sleep short at night your body will make up REM during the day because it prioritizes deep sleep. They'll be more vivid because there's no nREM in there I suspect.

      That makes perfect sense. I do get really short sleep at night and am in deep sleep in the afternoon. Thanks

      This definitely happens to me. Afternoon naps produce really vivid dreams. Sometimes you can tell which naps are going to be good for dreaming because you feel a 'flickering' sensation behind your eyes beforehand.
