I rarely remember my dreams except the recurring one I have had since I was a kid. Although i law school I had vivid dreams that I was in class and not always the same one. I thought of it as extra study time. 

Being called on unprepared ranks up there :(

Most of my repeated, worrisome dreams, have gone away since I’ve retired. Much less pressure. And although I still occasionally have “nightmares”, I am never scared in them or when I wake. I just sort of calmly deal with the problem at hand, whatever it may be. I’m lucky that way, I guess. 

Characteristic of you!

I usually don’t remember my dreams…

and that’s probably a good thing. 

You remember the bridge and lightning 

I don't remember most of mine either. But when its bad, I do wake up usually with my heart racing. Thankfully, that is not often. 

My dreams are vivid panavision explosions -  building designs rising from nothingness, wading in cool streams a glistening technocolor trout in my hands, beautiful leg curves running to high heels on gritty subway platforms, I often wonder what is the dream and what is reality.   Before my Apnea diagnosis these dreams happened in the 2 minutes before I woke, walking around in a stupor all day, makign understanding reality that much harder.  These days I will wake from one and dip into another many times in the night remembering one or more depending how the night goes. And thanks to my brother when I was 5 bad dreams and nightmares do not plauge me...the secret is to change the narrative remember it is your story. 

Great dreams (and comment)!
