Ok. This morning's dream recall was a bit unusual for me, in that I directly remembered what happened in the dream just before I woke up. This isn't particularly normal for me, from past experience I tend to have to 'think back' and try and remember what happened in my dreams. As far as I could tell, they just faded out instead of having a defined 'end' to them.

In the dream this morning, I distinctly had a 'yellow flash' in the dream which made everything fall apart, and I went directly from that to being awake. I've never had that feeling of going directly from dreaming to awake (although logically, isn't REM sleep the closest to being awake, so shouldn't it happen all the time?)

What's normal for most people? It may well be that my recall is so awful that I'm just not remembering enough of the dream to follow it through to the end. Do people experience something like that flash that I had?

Thanks.
