I've been thinking about my all too active fantasy life.

It doesn't take much to make my brain wander to alternate extrapolations of reality, all kinds of "what ifs" based on pretty much anything I'm doing at the moment that I hold with any importance.

If I'm in a decent mood, they could be good day dreams, silly unrealities that are pleasant or fufilling. And quite the opposite is true if I'm my average anxiety-ridden self.

What made me think about it, is a conversation I was having about dreams. I have certain repeating themes, and as I've said before, mostly things I can't track to the events of the day, like some people. But after talking about it, I started to wonder what makes me remember a dream afterwards, and whether I remember them in days where I'm not wandering off into ficticious realms during the day.

If a read some fiction, or fantasize on my own, does that mean I might not remember my dreams. I've read we usually dream, just not always remember them, so what is it that makes us remember certain ones?

I don't have the answer, but I think I'm going to pay more attention to my dreams, and see if I can make any correlations.

Hey, it keeps me slightly out of trouble. :)
