  • I dream often, usually I am able to remember them if I want to but never really bother unless it sticks out as a great story. It tends to happen when I’m about to wake up and while I’m in that mid sleep twilight zone. (Think of trying to back to sleep after an alarm, that kinda sleep)

    I would also like to mention that my sleep in incredibly messed up. I have a sleep condition that causes me to wake multiple times an hour so my rest is awful and I’m eternally exhausted.
