This morning, very shortly before waking up, I remember realizing that I'm about to wake up. Along with that, the feeling, or rather realization, that I'm about to forget almost every single thing that happened during this night, and there was so much that happened, it was like a full 10 hours day of adventure, like waking-life length of time. That realization was very brief, then I fell asleep and woke up a few more times and in the end all I could remember was the realization, one dream, and a few nonsensical fragments.. My recall is not usually this bad, it was awful today because I fell asleep listening to music, but that's not the point.

I've had similar experiences many times before, where I would wake up with the feeling that I've been away for a long time and I've done many things and a lot has happened there. Did anyone else experience something like this? And am I the only one getting the feeling that we might be missing a lot of incredible things during the night due to incomplete recall? I mean it's good to remember 3-4 dreams per night, I just get the feeling that there's so much more out there.. Perhaps not every single night, but in some nights I definitely feel like I woke up from even a few days-long journey/adventure. Sorry if this is too vague or nonsensical, just can't get it out of my head, felt like needing someone else's input..
