Weird Dream Patterns

So every night, I recall between 2-4 dreams. Most of these dreams are pretty average, uusually involving bad things- losing my homework, my wallet, phone, etc. However, one of my dreams,usually yhe last one I have before I wake up,is very long and extremely vivid. The weird part about the most vivid dreams is that they are all really fun and exciting (as opposed to aad or scary), and they all involve a fantasy world like the one in the video game Skyrim.

The weird part is that this happens every single night. Its always the same type of dream, although not always the same one.

Thoughts?

It's probably because of the sleep stage you're at.

REM is probably the most important sleep stage for those who are interested in dreams, because this is when we experience dreams. While there have been recordings of dreams during the other sleep stages, generally REM is considered the stage in which we experience our dreams.

In the first few sleep cycles of the night, REM is extremely short--only a few minutes. But as the night goes on, you spend longer periods of time in REM, up to 30 minutes or more.
