I decided to drink a bunch of caffeine before bed, and wow, not only did I have TONS of dreams, but I remember most of them. Pretty incredible. Do you guys typically remember your dreams?

What i remember of my nights asleep is either nothing basicly a void in memory, or dreams that if they not feature anything outlandish are no different from normal memories to me.
Except for the sudden shift between whatever happens in the dream and suddly being in bed.

I mostly do remember them, or the more interesting parts of them for some reason, but sometimes it seems as i don't have a dream at all which i think means i didn't remember anything.
EDIT:Wait, why did caffeine made you see more dreams? is it known? If it is true i'll try it out someday.

As some relevant dream facts, everyone usually has multiple dreams per night, and dream nearly every night, including those who claim they don't dream much (they forget or don't register having dreamed). You dream for about 2 hrs a night, with each dream lasting around 5-20 minutes. Usually.

As for remembering, you forget 95% of your dreams about 10 minutes after waking up. So if you've remembered any dreams, it'll be about 5% of your total dreaming. And it's not likely you remember the multiple dreams you had each night.

For about 10 minutes after I wake up - no big deal as I have not less than 3 devices capable of storing text in the same room

Some dreams I do, but more often I completely forget about them within one minute of waking up.

Not sure about caffeine, what I am sure about is that when I oversleep I generally end up in a very lazy half-awake state but still kind of dreaming, and those dreams I remember way better.

PS: that said I would say my blood if 50% caffeine, so perhaps caffeine is related /s

Dreams are weird, the ones you remember specially.
I have this recollection of a dream I had some thirty years ago perhaps.
I know it was a dream due to... well, I really had to ask back then if it ever happened.
The thing is this dream is stored in my memory as a real event, as if it really happened, it's hard to make it apart from reality.

It's just a stupid dream about me falling into kind of an open manhole in a sports club I frequented when I was a kid, and being able to grab and hold from the edge for quite a long time until someone spotted me and helped me out. For some reason it feels so much more like a memory than like an old dream.

I have a recurring dream where I'm walking down the street then a huge airplane painted in rainbow colours passes over my head and crashes into the mountain in the distance. I start running towards the mountain and as I get closer another plane painted all in red flys over my head and crashes into the exact same spot as the first plane. I then get to the crash site just as another plane that is black and white smashes into the mountain then I wake up. First had that dream when I was about 10 and still have it once or twice a month.
