We had a thread a year or so ago when some discussion of dreams related --- possibly related --- to cancer killing chemicals and the style of the dreams being much stronger --- well, not sure about a good way to describe the dreams. Enhanced dreaming, maybe.
And my dreaming has continued to be quite something.
I sometimes log the basics of a dream, but those are normally just summaries. A proper record would require a verbal record.
Something very interesting came up at my last meeting with my head doctor; I asked him if heavy dreaming meant I was, or wasn't, getting a proper sleep. I was surprised because he wasn't sure how to answer that.
Anyway, I can try and find that thread for you. There was some interesting information provided by a number of our members here. Maybe that was early last year. I'm really not sure when that discussion took place.
But maybe it is better to get feedback from folks that don't have to be taking a lot of medication, like I have to. My dreaming has definitely gotten stronger since about the relapse in-patient period a few years ago. And then there was a kind of strange change when the cancer moved to the membrane around my brain and only some very new and very special drug was tried and it wasn't really thought I'd make it through that, but I did. That membrane swelling caused by the cancer may have done something odd to my brain and might be another cause (or THE cause) of my recent troubles with dreaming.
Well, defining it as "trouble" is ... well, not sure about why. Most of the dreaming isn't of the nightmare style. Many are just weird.
I'd say that if I were to set up a system for a verbal record to be done within the first few minutes right after awaking from a dream I could provide a lot of detail. Some of the dreams are quite puzzling as to why I had a particular dream.
What a long response. Apologies for my yak-yak-yak style.

I was on the first tee of a PGA event thinking to myself, these guys are going to hit it three hundred yards and I'm gonna' hit my driver two hundred yards and they will then look at me with the question on their faces of what are you doing here as I try to figure out the same thing, what am I doing here? Anyway it's my turn and I realize I've forgotten my clubs.

Not my dream but a funny one from last month.
A friend has two teenage sons. The younger one sleepwalks occasionally.
She heard yelling from the hallway in the middle of the night and went to investigate.
Her son was standing in the hallway yelling at his older brother's room to stfu. He was actually using the F word which is prohibited.
She checked on the older son who was fast asleep in his room.
So the younger boy was dreaming and sleepwalking. In the course of shouting he woke himself up and realized he was standing in the hallway in his underwear.
A few weeks before that he showed up in his parents room at 3 am, fully dressed and demanding a ride to school. It was a Saturday.
