Hi Fellow Dreamers,

My whole life I have been blessed with a rich dream life. My dreams have always been very vivid and many of them with quite complex themes. They were more entertaining than anything you might find on TV and often better than a movie. I always looked forward to whatever my dreams had in store for me. Usually I would recall one dream vividly each night and one or two dream fragments. That was until our last move.

My husbands new job had him up at 4-4:30 every morning. The kids had to be up at 5:45 and the dogs wanted to go out. I am a very light sleeper, so I was up for the morning after all this. All of this left me tired and grumpy in the mornings and unable to recall my dreams. The time between 4-6 AM has always been the most important time for me to be sleeping. If I was disturbed during that time, I would be out of sorts for the rest of the day. Now this happened on a daily basis. I hoped that my body would compensate within a few weeks, but it never did. It has now been years since my rich dream life and I miss it terribly. I want it back. I have recently started to remember some of my dreams again, but it is not every night and the dreams lack the vivid complexity they used to have. They mostly occur when my husband is out of town or on the rare occasion that he slips out of bed without disturbing me. My goal here is to get my dreams back! I am not interested in lucid dreaming at the moment, that can wait.
