Does anyone else remember dreams from when they were kids right before falling asleep? (lemmy.world)

Right before I fall asleep, I'll remember some random details of a dream I had when I was 5-10 years old. It changes each night, but never is a newer dream.

Does that happen to anyone else?

I also sometimes recognise places and situations from previous dreams, or at least I dream that I recognise them..

It's like those dreams that feels like a hours/days/years even if you only had a 5 minute nap. It's impossible to know if time actually passed or if you just dreamt a memory of a long time passing.

A few times I have been certain that the place in the dream was the same as I have dreamt of before, but other times I am equally convinced that I've never actually dreamt about it before, even if it felt so in the dream.

I’ve had a couple of dreams that were impossibly longer than the time I was asleep.

Once I lived months a single night. Woke up disoriented and took a long time looking around confused before I remembered who I was.

The other dream was at least many weeks, and in real time it was only three minutes! It was a sort of detective/bounty hunter thing with me chasing a guy. It ended with a sci fi battle in a first that was utterly terrifying, and I woke up in a cold sweat. Literally three minutes since I’d last looked at my phone. Body drenched in sweat that was actually cold, my heart pounding. The dream had been so real.

Both of those dreams ended with me dying.
