Hello people, as you might notice this is my first post on the boards. I recently (read: yesterday) discovered the site, and it made me very anxious to try things out.

So last night I went to bed, thinking 'I will wake up tonight after a dream, I will wake up tonight after a dream' all the time. Eventually (with some more effort than usual, was kind of excited) I fell asleep. Next thing I knew was, that I woke up around 2:30 am. (I went to bed around midnight) My head seemed to overflow with hundreds of images going at the speed of light, crawling trough eachother, making my thoughts look like a delicious soup. Also, I heard all kinds of noises. I remember maybe I heard screaming, but after a second or so, the chaos stopped. After this I could not get to sleeping very well, dogs keeping me awake and other things. This morning I woke up and didn't remember anything else. I have written down the chaos that occured as in 'chaos occured'.

Now, how am I to write down such a thing? Was it even a dream? Am I dreaming normally even. Lately I can't remember any dream whatsoever, except one dream that occured while I was ill (when you are ill you get the weirdest dreams). Should I put more effort in remembering my dreams, or will I gradually become better at waking up after one and remembering it?

Thanks in advance ^^
