I don't really dream. It's extremely rare to the point where I'll have a handful in a year and I don't remember them. Waking up with an emotional reaction to an odd dream inspired by life events or entertainment... Then the details slip away from me and I can't even talk to anyone about the experience.

What's it like for you?
Do you enjoy, dislike or analyze your dreams?
Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

It wasn't until ubiquitous social media that I realized lucid dreams weren't the norm for everyone else. My default dreams are both lucid and recurring: I have the same fifty-odd dreams over and over and have the freedom to change the ending, rewind, or otherwise alter events. Oh, there's one-offs too and not every dream is lucid but that's what I considered a "normal" dream growing up in the previous century.
