    Funny thing is, I did have a weird ass dream last night. My issue has always been I forget the content of the dreams almost instantly. I remember something weird, then I woke up and thought “Boy that was weird”. A moment later it was gone.

      Having a dream journal (and a habit of using it) can help you retain the dream at least long enough to record it.

        I’ve spent so much of my life trying to forget, no turning back now

      Yeah you have to tell somebody right away or right it down, people who train themselves to have lucid dreams set an alarm to wake themselves up and do this every night

        Yep. Also, IDK if this is universal but I used to deliberately set an alarm for 4 AM, and when I turned it off and went back to sleep I would usually remember my dreams between 4 AM and when I actually had to get up.

          I think of this phenomenon as the brain has finished defragging and goes “ok, you ready to see some shit?”

        I have a feeling it’s better I forget them honestly.
