What took my dreams away from me

[femcelloser]

I love dreams and dreaming. I love interpreting dreams and I love any media involving dreams David Lynch works and like yume Nikki and shit I fw dreaming so hard.

Used to use it as an escape and I would reminisce on dreams when I was younger and less depressed. I can't dream anymore. It's not like I don't remember them or anything. I don't think I can physically dream like I pass out and I'm just awake and nothing happened. I miss dreaming dearly. Is this like something depressed people go through? Is this even like a symptom of something? I just wanna know why I don't have sweet wonderful dreams anymore

I had the same issue, found out how to 100% trigger dreams. When I wake up, there is no trace of having a dream. However, when I go to sleep right after, even if it's for 15 minutes, I get the most vivid dream possible. It feels like I'm experiencing it for hours, but in the end it's only a couple of minutes. Don't know if your brain works the same, it's worth giving it a shot though.

I'm the opposite. Have extremely intense and long winded journeys in dreams. The few snippets I can remember are often amazing. I write them down and analyse them. But the worst part is having these epic adventures, then waking up and knowing I had this experience, the emotions are still fresh, but the memory of them is either gone entirely (the worst) or limited to the last tiny fraction. Everything before is gone. I really wish I could remember them.
