I’ve had that happen a few times. It’s not common at all, but every once in a very great while….
For me, it seems to only happen with exceptionally powerful dreams, ones that are brighter and more, um, ‘important’ than usual ones.
Grasping for an explanation, I’d suggest that regular dreams only use a small part of the brain… only small sections are used. The ‘important’ ones may involve a lot more of it; the sense I had was one of total focus and involvement, rather than just the more ordinary nebulous/wafty kind of dreams.
I don’t think I’ve ever had one repeat past three nights, and I no longer remember the subject matter of any of them. I don’t think they were important in any absolute sense. I didn’t get any major insights or life changes or anything of that nature. But there was still a sense of importance at the time.
