This is sooo enlightening! I thought I was in the minority of people with strange dreaming habbits!

It could be we are all just a bunch of weirdos.

I have an omni magazine, one amoung the many I have, which contained an article on how to take control of your dreams. One of the more simple strategies they had for remembering dreams is to simply say to yourself, before falling asleep each night "I will remember all of my dreams upon waking." Repeat this to yourself several times each night.
I have found that after several nights of this it does sometimes work.
I have also found that you can modify behavior during sleep with similar statements.
Since REM is similar to a hypnotic state maybe this isn't so odd.

The line between good and evil is razor sharp. Be careful of misteps,
lest you find yourself spitted upon your own blade.

*sniff* I hardly ever remember my dreams, and if I do, I remember them really strangely. As I posted in another thread, it's not as if I was really 'there' and experiencing things - my dreams aren't nearly as detailed. It's more like a memory of these things - I know that they happened but I don't experience them. And I don't think I 'see' and 'hear' anything at all, it's more like reading something from a book and imagining it happening, this is beginning to make no sense at all. What was really strange was a dream where I knew that I was dreaming and tried to wake up but it didn't work. It wasn't a bad dream, I simply wanted to wake up. I pinched myself - didn't hurt, didn't work. Then finally I thought loudly: HELLO! IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU WAKE UP, THEN REMEMBER THAT THIS DREAM WAS ABOUT... and I forgot the rest. Very weird.
