I've been searching for someone all my life that shared this phenon!! I have the most incredible vivid dreams every night of my life. The content varies....some very ho-hum, matter-of-fact, every day normal events and then there are those where I seem to be searching for someone, something or some place that I need to find. Upon awakening, I can recall the entire dream and sometimes feel overwhelmed because of the content and the total recall. I'm not usually exhausted during the day but have been known to take a mid-day nap from time to time. I take Ambien when I have trouble getting or staying asleep which is not on a regular basis. I also take Prozac (40mg.) and Wellbutrin (15mg) daily. I used to suffer from severe episodes of depression but since the onset of of the SRI's, I have been rolling along on a pretty even keel. My main reason for replying to this post is that you are the first person I have ever encountered that dreamed this vividly as I do. I would LOVE to hear from anyone else that dreams in this manner.
Take care and pleasant dreams,
Vivid Dreamer
