How often do you dream?

Friends and family often seem very surprised when I say I dream every night and can always remember them, often having two or three a night. They are always wildly imaginative with lots of random elements which don’t make sense, incredibly detailed and I often wake still feeling the emotion of the dream. I can also be having a dream, wake to use the bathroom, then go back to sleep and continue with the same dream. I often wonder how my brain can create such imaginative scenarios each and every night. I suffer with severe migraines and wonder if something in my head just isn’t right? How often do ‘normal’ people dream?

Same .. every night, but I often wake feeling exhausted as I seem to dream right up until the alarm goes off

I tend to only have dreams (or at least remember them) on days when I'm able to over sleep a little bit (rare with young DC!) and they are always very weird and very vivid. If I'm woken from a deep sleep (happens often with young DC! ) then I don't remember my dreams. I love it if I'm having a bit of a lie in and I'm just about to wake up and I become aware I'm dreaming and I start to influence what's happening in my dream, that's cool!

Very rarely, but when I do they are very vivid and strange!

I remember my dreams most nights. Some are stressful and I wake up feeling like I need a rest to recover from them: last night I was being chased by David Platt who was going to beat me up and kill me. Other times they're just odd. My dreams also seem to follow a theme that changes every so often; at the moment most of them are about going on a cruise and visiting Antarctica whilst complaining about the cold.
