I've been recording my dreams on and off for years, and I don't think I've ever recorded a scene transition that wasn't a "cut." For example, I might be in my family room, then I'm in the dining room, then I'm in the kitchen, then I'm outside - but I have no memories of actually walking to room. As another example, last night I dreamed I was in my car, waiting at a red light to turn; then I was on the on-ramp; then I was on the Interstate in the middle of a turn; then I was beginning a merge with another road. In each case, the dream cut between each scene - no turning from the road onto the on-ramp, no merging from the on-ramp onto the Interstate, no approaching the merge.
I know that these "cuts" are common, and that they explain a lot of why dreams seem much longer than they are. My question is, is it common that I ONLY remember cuts and never natural scene transitions (walking from one room to another)?
