Superfunkomatic - Observations of the Socially Inept

for the past two months, as part of a class, i’ve been trying to keep track of dreams and document them as part of an autoethnography. and i must admit it hasn’t been that successful, not for lack of trying, but for lack of dreams.

i can honestly say that i don’t dream much. i’ve documented every case of dreams that has occured, but they’ve been few and far between.

perhaps my brain is working at a different level of consciousness and these memories aren’t available to me the next day or when i’m done sleeping. or perhaps it’s related to the chronic sleep deprivation i experienced over the past few years - my body is still catching up. my brain is rewiring rather than problem solving. just a guess.

wonder if dreaming becomes less prevalent as you age? or the resources for that part of the brain have shifted to other tasks, or if overloaded/underloaded stagnate or atrophy. perhaps it’s something we have use or encourage or lose.
