      Hi. Is it normal to have vivid dreams? It feels like I fall asleep for a short period of time and I’m stuck in REM sleep.

        Greetings!
        Dreams are a healthy part of sleep. Occasional vivid dreams are pretty common too, just don’t react too strongly to them and you’ll be fine.

            It always gets tricky whenever you try to figure out sleep and its related components; it just isn’t helpful to launch barrage after barrage of questions about sleep, and quite frequently these questions are not very easy to answer and the answers you get may not help you or anyone as they can lead you further down the hole. Always practice acceptance and non reaction as your first step. After that continue to maintain your regular bedtime schedule. The answer is usually as simple as that. Or if you have genuine concerns that this might be something else or is health-related, it’s better to consult your doctor to do a physical examination because nobody in this forum is able to help you on this other than just giving moral support and guidance.

              Could it be REM rebound maybe? Happens after a period of sleep deprivation, I think.
              I am experiencing a lot of vivid dreams when I am sleep deprived. I believe it is how body adjusts naturally.
