Anyone else have dreams as real as life?
I dream A LOT. Honestly, there are about two nights per month that I DON'T remember my dreams. They're always intensely vivid, too, and every single dream for 19 years has taken place in one of five distinct, unchanging, mappable places that don't exist in real life. I recall colors, I've tasted things, and sometimes I wake up feeling pain from injuries I've received in dreams. I can bring up anything from past dreams to the people in my dreams, and they remember it as though they were real people. When things happen in a dream, they affect the next dream. For instance, the elevator in the hotel building was broken once for about a month, and each time I went back to sleep, I would be able to check on it and see if it was functioning yet. I can go on and on about the details of my dreams, they're as real and as frequent as real life for me. There are NEVER any incongruities. Does this happen to anyone else?
