Usually I don't remember my dreams and this one was really interesting.
I was playing golf and was at the green about to make a put. It was nice midday sunlight
All of a sudden I heard a loud thunderclap and I looked up in front of me and there was a massive storm cloud rapidly forming and spreading across the sky as I was watching it briefly.
I felt safe with this storm bit realised I need to get into shelter, but the only shelter around was in the direction of the storm so I started running into the storm and I was marvelling at the black clouds and all of a sudden a bolt of lightning fell and spilt into 5 branches striking the ground.
It didn't startle me or frighten me but it woke me up after hearing the lightning strike.
I lay awake thinking the Strom is the natural result of forces above us instead of running from the storm it was best to embrace it and weather it out, but the lightning had a sense of God's power behind it. For some reason seeing the lightning comforted me
FondueFerret is 100% correct. Amongst other things it will tell some part of your subconscious that the dreams have value and you will magically start remembering more. It's not about remembering dreams you have had but ascribing perceived value to the dreams you have yet to have so that you will remember them. It is like setting intentions to do so. Have a look into Lucid dreaming.
Technique:- If you were, for example, to set an alarm that goes off every hour at which time you asked yourself if you were dreaming or not, sooner or later the answer will be "yes I am dreaming" and then things get really interesting. It is indistinguishable from reality until you fall back into the unaware dreamstate or wake up from the shear excitement of witnessing the mind modelling internal mental stimuli instead of external sensory data. It's like walking a tightrope. There are many techniques for invoking it....and i don't mean some vague notion you are dreaming but a manifestation of full waking consciousness into the dreamstate. It's a bit lifechanging.
I will try it as this dream felt somewhat important to understand and others have also had the same dreams or feelings recently
