Incredible Dreams

[Hobby]

I have good dreams never horror movie dreams well not for maybe 40 years.  My dreams are very vivid and feels very real as if I am awake. I have conversations with people I have never seen or known.  I just wonder how the brain does this.  Truly amazing!  I suspect dreams being so real people way back when thought they were some place else and perhaps why they believe in after life.

Hey, do you mind sharing what drugs you are using? Sounds like some really good stuff, lol. Just kidding. We have all been there. Tends to happen before you wake up fully. The fun ones you can sort of actively participate. Then there are the ones when you wake up, you want to go back to sleep to see how things end, like being in a movie.

As longs as you are having good ones, I say enjoy.
Most vivid dreams "lucid dream"  occur during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, a stage with heightened brain activity that facilitates intense dream scenarios.the same areas of your brain that are active when you're awake, like the thalamus and hippocampus, are also highly active during dreaming, allowing your mind to process sensory information, emotions, and memories, creating a vivid and seemingly real experience.

No drugs... sometimes I awake after a intensive vivid dream I wake up with my head buzzing and really tired feeling not good for a few hours after.  Sometimes a headache.

You might want to keep a log on how often that happens. Then discuss at your next doctor visit.

Danno, you always keep it real.  I'm still  here in part thanks to you.

Many years ago, I did keep a log of vivid realistic dreams.  I trained myself to wake up and write them down.  This was a time of several months  when I was "adrift" in a dramatic period of change.  It was a great source of cocktail hour stories, and connected to the risky activities I was involved in daily back then.  Although they were not useful for psycho analysis, (but I'm an engineer) they sure were fun to recall and share.
