A very interesting analysis, which I liked reading. My previous dream journals are extremely disorganised and have very poor notes regarding parts of the dream contexts that would require explaining, so unfortunately I can't, at the moment, do such an in-depth analysis of my dreams.


I personally don't rate my dreams on any sort of scales, for me this would be like rating my life's experiences; good or bad, they are what they are. But perhaps I'm different in that I very rarely feel excitement or joy in the way that most people seem to exhibit it. So, I don't think I can say I've ever had "incredibly enjoyable" dreams, because I cannot relate directly to this feeling, so I'll instead approach this based on dreams that I found more memorable.

Either way, I can guess reasonably well from most of my previous accounts that most of my dreams' contexts are relevant to the mood of the dream itself, or perhaps are the way they are because of the mood. It is difficult to establish the causality between things I don't directly have conscious access to.

But in my dreams things like light and darkness always, always, come in sequence to one another. The question is always about how long the sequence is, rather than whether it will happen, because even in dreams that are entirely day or night, there is a constant gradual change toward the other. And the entire mood always shifts somehow.

My speculation is that this has to do with sleep phases, and in my case, because of my condition, my sleep phases are abnormal. My alpha waves intrude on my delta activity, as per the report on my sleep, also stating I have a higher amount of deep sleep than is considered to be normal.
This could explain why I feel like I dream less than others but this is conjecture on my part, since I do not really understand the sleep mechanisms that well.


That digression aside, most of my more memorable dreams are the sort I consider to be more "supernatural" (not the same as surreal to me), that seem more directly related to my own personal story in life. When I say supernatural I mean with entities like angels, or animals that interact directly with me somehow, or completely abstract dreams where I'm "me" but just "know" something at a nearly sub-lucid state, if that makes sense; such as one dream about my father's dying age, of supposedly 83, which I cannot know yet whether it is premonitory or not, since that's still about 10 years from now.
