After checking out a client , oops...I mean his property, this afternoon I went directly to my new found cozy coffee shop at a bike shop to have my afternoon green tea in jasmine.
As I was sitting comfortably staring at my tea, my dreams last night suddenly occurred to me. I just realised I remembered two of them! The first one, I was shaving my head off and was looking for a scissor coz my hair's too long for the razor. The second one, was a mother dolphin attacking me coz I took her baby!
Crazy dreams huh!
I read in a newspaper article that people can dream 2-4 times a night. So how many of your dreams can you remember when you wake up?

Not often I remember mine, although I did have a strange dream the other night, only remembering bits of it which none of it makes sense lol.
I wish I could remember my dreams.

@toniganzon I think I would start questioning my sanity if I remembered them all. There's often people from the past turning up in strange places.

Sometimes I remember my dreams and sometimes I don't. (shrug!) Some of them I don't want to remember, either.

I have some that I don't want to remember either. I had recurrent dreams in the past that made me moved to another country so as not to have it anymore.

@toniganzon Well there probably is a lot of truth to that lol. I take anti-depressants and I think it causes some crazy dreams. Wellbutrin gave me horrible ones and restless legs.

@shaggin oh the meds. When I had surgery the first thing I asked my sister was if I'd have dreams while sleeping under the influence of anesthesia. She said no to my relief.

After checking out a client
How sure you are that both the dreams you recalled happened last night during sleep? No, I do not deny the 2-4 dreams a night thing nor do I deny that remembering them (or all of them) can be that difficult, but there are many times, when you think you recalled a dream that happened last night, but it had happened the night earlier.
As for me, I normally remember one. Sometimes when there are nightmares and my sleep is disturbed, I remember them too.

Yeah, I have read that it only takes a few seconds for us when we wake up in the morning to remember it, unless we do something not to forget it.
I have had serial dreams when I was younger.

@toniganzon This morning I had a quiet moment between the moment I woke up and getting out of the bed and I remember very well the odd dreams I had during the night.

@toniganzon Since I met you here in myLot, I only had a DRY dream and that is the Language Translating Machine (LTM). All the rest were WET dreams. I am sure another wet dream tonight again, so I am thinking of going out to buy diapers or, much better, sanitary napkins! I hope this is one of the best answers to your question.

Dear Julito,
I am currently busy and could hardly be on here, but I took time to read this response of yours. I wasn't disappointed at all.
Get some bed pads instead of sanitary napkins!
Lovely as ever,
Toni

@toniganzon I'm sure I have quite a few dreams during the night, but don't often remember them. Probably because I'm exhausted when I go to bed.

In my case I often remember them and it's rare that I don't. I've always been sensitive to my dreams since I was a kid.

Usually I dream 3-4 dreams in a row, and some may be interconnected, though after waking up I totally forget them. I can never remember my dreams if they weren't too vivid. I can remember some pretty scary nightmares, for instance.
