For the past 4 or 5 nights I've been able to recall up to 7 dreams vividly from each night? What does this mean? Am I sleeping better with more REM?
Weird question but is it possible to remain in the REM stage for the entirety of sleep? Even when I am gently woken up, the gentle piano alarm incorporates itself into my dreaming, and when I go back to sleep a dream can start almost immediately?
