Hello everyone,
I havn't been around here for long as I've registered a little over a week ago. I've been reading quite a bit around here though, but like anybody else I've experienced some confusion that inevitably comes with things we're not all too knowledgeable about, and even with things we're knowledgeable about there's always room for improvement regarding skill and diligence, and, of course, confusion. (I hope I'm posting this in the right section!)
Just wondering: since I've read quite a bit here about remembering multiple dreams a person has had in one night, I'm wondering how one could decide, differentiate, or divide between dreams, eg, "Dream #1 "I was walking on a cloud," Dream #2 "I was talking with a stranger about Napolean while riding the bus," Dream #3 "I was acting like a goof infront of my co-workers with nothing but my shorts on," etc. Because to me, It usually just seems like it's one long movie that I may be lucky enough to remember some parts of. My recall tends to follow this form:
"I remember seeing snow in Florida which I thought was weird since I was in Florida in the middle of August, and all of a sudden, I can remember being at my house trying to figure out who impregnated me." That's a pretty good example of what I would have.
It usually feels like I had this terribly long dream that felt like actual life, and even though the contexts change drastically from one point to another, I have a strong feeling, and almost complete certainty even, that it's all been just one dream with so many different, and usually crazy incidents. I remember most of these strange incidents, in their contexts, and even the feeling I have while having them. And very frequently I'd also remember social interaction in the dream clearly, something I've read, and or something someone said pretty ok as well. I can even recall those pathetic small details I don't need to remember.
I can basically remember enough of the dreams I've had during sleep if I desire to, and if I make at least some effort to recall and retain the memory long enough to either keep it in my memory or write it down before losing it. Other times, however, I am unmotivated (usually when the dream feels unimportant), and therefore make no effort whatsoever into recalling dreams, even though I could if I only try when I initially am awoken.
Would the incidents (especially the random ones with contexts changing) be considered "different dreams" recalled? Or (even though I truly doubt this) does this just mean that I am normally the kind of person who has poor dream recall ability?
