forgotten dreams

I've started forgetting more of my dreams. I don't know why, but it's worrying. Like, I have my long sagas, last night's was massive, and I kept it up all morning, even when I'd wake up for a few moments, check the time, find a new position, pull up my sheets, snuggle back into my pillow etc, it'd keep going once I dozed off again. I have weird dreams, this was quite threatening really, I remembering being trapped on this bus with people who were trying to make my life hell, and one burnt me with a lit cigarette, 3 distinct marks on my collarbone, but still, it's a dream, I am always keen to dream.

But I barely remember it.

I have ideas of what happened, some only half formed. Like, my brain knows so I know, but I can't describe it because if I think too hard on it, it's gone. I remember during breakfast thinking 'wait a sec, I had sex in this dream, didn't I? I swear I did." but I don't remember. Someone had sex and I think I was there but I swear it wasn't me. I don't even know. I remember all this other weird stuff, all this random backstory and characters who I haven't met but are instrumental to the plot. Except they always change, like it's you know who's girlfriend, then it's her with brown hair and she looks like someone else, then she's my cousin who is a few years older, then she just knows my cousin, then it isn't her at all.

So I can't even say 'the evil guy was so-and-so, because it only kind of was.

I know if I run the dream over once I wake up, it sticks around but I'm not used to having to do it so I forget. Like when I try to remember what position I wake up in (tummy, back, side etc) but I never remember. I'm still not sure. I fall asleep on stomach but who knows after that. Obviously not side, how can anyone do that, it's weird. Wouldn't your arm fall asleep? Unless it occurs to me at the time, I don't do it and I don't remember.


Anyway, night
