Yeah I'm going to set my alarm 20 mins early, so I wake up during that REM cycle and remember. One thing I know for certain is that without dreams my days go by fast. These past few weeks have gone by, and I daydream less also.
Ill wake up with the answer to problem/ important stuff I forgot to put in a contract often. I write it down immediately, and back to sleep. And, yes the standard bizarre tripy stuff everyone else has too.
