I know it's best to wake up at intervals throughout the night and record your dreams on paper so you are sure of them, but I am in college and I need my sleep so I wait until the morning. The problem is that sometimes the morning comes and I remember something, but I am not entirely sure if it was a dream or if it was my conscious mind contemplating. The more I think about it it probably was a dream.

An example was last night: I recalled imagining a fictitious conversation with my brother where I told him that I don't drink much anymore (something I plan to start doing) and he said he doesn't either. Yeah, boring dream, but I think it tells me I'm making the right decision to cut back on drinking. Anyways, this is the type of basic recollection that seems almost too boring to have been a dream, but to have just been my mind wandering instead.

Thoughts?
