Hmm, interesting. Ktsp says that he almost never remembers his dreams, either--though every few months he'll have a really vivid one, usually because it's traumatic in some way, and he'll tell me as soon as he wakes up. We woke up on our wedding anniversary this year, and he told me that he'd just dreamed about my "evil twin" cheating on him (and he never dreams about that kind of stuff!). We laughed for a while about that one.
For me, as soon as I gain consciousness after any kind of sleep (even a 15 minute nap), there will be quite clear pictures and feelings still hanging around from my dream. Usually, if ktsp is there, I'll tell him right away--you can imagine his joy every morning when I mumble through the latest wacko dream.
I tend to have the craziest dreams when I take a nap in the afternoon, for whatever reason--my brain doesn't seem to like that, so it produces some very disjointed stuff.
Dreams are actually quite important to me... not because I think they mean anything beyond what's in my subconscious, but even that is fascinating. I can recognize when my body is going through a period of intense stress based on my dreams, if I'm not picking up on conscious signals during the day. I am not sure what I would do if I could no longer remember my dreams... until I starting spending nights with ktsp, I thought everyone had vivid, crazy dreams like I did!
