Anyways, my frustrations about sleep deprivation aside, I find it hard to believe what people often say about how we "always" dream but just "don't remember it." Perhaps it really is true. But when I dream stuff, it's usually very vivid for me immediately after I wake up from it. Of course, I then quickly forget what it was all about unless I write it down (and even then, it's a struggle to decode what seemed so clear mere moments ago). But most nights I wake up and there's nothing. Whether that means I didn't dream or simply don't remember, I don't know. But since the times I do remember are so vivid, it's hard for me to believe that I "just don't remember" on the days I wake up with no recollection, nor even fleeting emotions from a dream.
The last time I had a dream I actually remembered was more than a month ago, I think. I wrote it down. I think I must have been reading some crappy
isekai
manga before bed because it was basically an isekai setting. Except, I was a goblin or some sort of "monster" living peacefully with my family clan in a cave leading into a dungeon. I think I forgot most of the important stuff. But I remember the general story of the dream was that I ventured beyond the cave and peacefully assimilated myself into the city of humans and other races. I like stories about adaptation to and acceptance of situations, so I guess it was an expression of that?
