I always get annoyed because I get really interested in the dream and just kinda forget they’re basically nonsense and usually don’t go anywhere. So I’m super invested and on the edge of my seat and right before I think it’s about to get really good the person is like “and then I woke up.” Or the “setting” and “plot” abruptly and jarringly change to something completely different and everything else is dropped entirely. Either way I’m reminded that it was never a carefully crafted story, just an odd manifestation of random unconscious thoughts.

Well, there is a solution to that. Start turning dreams into actual stories so they have plot and can be continued. It’s a great tradition!
