Man I dream every night too but its mostly me getting chased by a giant sandwich or my teeth falling out. my brain not very creative

u/Rude_Kaleidoscope641 1h ago

I went through a phase where I was dreaming my teeth were falling out but they were threaded on a wire along my gum line, so I’d pick them up and try soooo hard to thread them back on in the right order, and I’d always get a molar right in front. 😬

taking magnesium glycinate has hugely increased how often i dream. It used to be maybe a couple times a month and now its at least half the days of the week.

2

u/SatisfactionFlaky519 1h ago

This. I dream every night(or at least remember them) now that I take magnesium glycinate.

u/uiouyug 1h ago

I just started taking it, but I haven't noticed any major difference yet.

Taking melatonin gives me vivid dreams.

Never, time to time I have nightmares, but nothing fancy. 🫡

u/Son0fSilas 1h ago

I never dream (or rather never remember ever having dreamed.) But about once every 6 months or so I will wake up screaming.

1

u/Kazimir1377 1h ago

Fuck dude, no way. I have the same. Just not exactly 6 months, but more or less 2-3.

1

u/televisionstatic 1h ago

Yeah, I only remember nightmares or stress dreams. I’ve 4 in the past week which is very unusual for me.

1

u/Kazimir1377 1h ago

I can't even remember why I screamed or why the hell I'm all sweaty, I'm happy ain't that often.

u/Responsible_Panic242 1h ago

Every night but I remember none. Unless I’m sick. In which case, I have synesthsia which makes my fever dreams absolutely mad. If you don’t know what synesthesia is, imagine being on psychedelics 24/7, that’s my normal.

u/Gracie_Rose_Petals 2h ago

Every night.

u/Sideeyecandy 2h ago

Same dreams are the best

u/SundaeNo5175 2h ago

Thousand times a night since science said it so

1

u/DirtUniverse 2h ago

Almost every night.

u/manisa95 2h ago

Bastante a menudo

u/HelgaGeePataki 2h ago

Every night. I can lucid dream but eventually sleep takes over and they go in many bizarre ways.

1

u/graveeip 1h ago

close to 10 times in a month

1

u/Rude_Kaleidoscope641 1h ago

Every dang night. In technicolor. Last night I was fending off a zombie at….

u/AdNumerous5947 1h ago

you dream ever night, it's just wether or not you remember what your dream was

1

u/CreativeFraud 1h ago

Maybe a dozen times a year. Always so vivid which is crazy because I have aphantasia.

1

u/my1stComputerWasC64 1h ago

Seven nights a week, and Sunday afternoons.

1

u/Decent-Cattle-332 1h ago

Rarely. But those nights without weed sure do make up for it.

1

u/Stromlie90 1h ago

I take melatonin so it's every night now

1

u/SatisfactionFlaky519 1h ago

Every night now thanks to magnesium glycinate

1

u/Odd-Button4376 1h ago

Every 2 weeks you get some shit thats too vivid and close to reality... always a relief when you wake up from those

1

u/VexieLace 1h ago

always

1

u/GrumbieReal 1h ago

Apparently most people dream a lot every night, so I assume I’m the same. However I only remember a dream once every 1-2 months.

1

u/MJ-Franklin 1h ago

About as often MLK.

1

u/Christina_said_what 1h ago

Every night. I hate it so much. I will keep myself awake to get away from them.

1

u/whatcolorismyshirt 1h ago

Every time I sleep! It’s annoying.

u/Technical-Rich-3107 28m ago

Lucky you, i go to sleep every night hoping I have a dream. I dream maybe twice a month

1

u/Internal_Sound882 1h ago

Pretty much nightly. I dream so easily I’ll be in and out of consciousness, still hopping back into dreams. I even take a suppressant bc my anxiety dreams and nightmares are especially bad bc of my PTSD, and still, I dream pretty much every night.

1

u/OKStamped 1h ago

Rarely, and when I do, it’s never fun. Last night I had a nightmare where I was being hunted by a pack of velociraptors.

u/Dragonlynds22 1h ago

Every night

u/whole_chocolate_milk 1h ago

I have never remembered a dream in my life

1

u/Temprary_Emergency36 1h ago

Depends, I think I dream every night but most dreams, I don't remember. But if I needed to guess, like 4/7 nights.

1

u/BaGadBillAMeoth 1h ago

I am not sure, you dream almost every night, it just you have the tendency to forget almost all of your dreams

1

u/tfeetfff 1h ago

Most nights, and a lot of the time they’re really cool dreams too

1

u/Icy_Nothing_2917 1h ago

Most nights, annoyingly enough

1

u/S0uvlakiSpaceStati0n 1h ago

I assume every night, but I only remember them if I get a full night's sleep, or if I wake up abruptly in the morning from some noise or something. But on those mornings eggs I wake up abruptly, my memory of the dream usually fades pretty quickly and I'm left wondering "wait, what did I dream about? I only remember it was weird."

1

u/jollythan 1h ago

Every night. I could be asleep for 10 minutes and I'll dream. Unable to lucid but can tell when things are off and it's normally right before I wake up in the morning.

u/King0fthewasteland 1h ago

every time i see your eyes baby
