Dreamin' up a storm

Lately I've been having dreams every single night, and I'm remembering loads of details. It's a little intense.

Generally I go through periods where I don't remember any dreams, and then I go through periods where I remember a lot. But the last 10 days have been the most prolific and detailed period of dreaming I've ever experienced. I mean, it's constant. And the dreams themselves are really varied. Some are sweet, some are violent, some are peaceful, some are anxious, some are about what I'm doing, some are about what I'm not doing, you name it.

Maybe I'm just taking in more of the world than usual--therefore I'm more open to what my subconscious is expressing through my dreams (?)--but I'd be curious to learn more about this kind of patterning.

Anyone have light to shed on patterns of remembering and not-remembering? Point me to books, websites, your own personal experiences or theories...

And happy dreaming.
