I'm sure, just like everyone else, I go through all the usual cycles of sleep, including lots of dreaming. But since a few years, come morning I have no recollection of my dreams what so ever. Occasionally I will come away with a faint glimmer of a memory, but nothing I can recount.
Last week I read an article about sunlight that espoused the virtues of vitamin D. My wife had gone on a vitamin D kick a while back, and we still had some lying around. The article made a strong enough case that I figured I'd give it a go. For the last four evenings, I've been taking 3000 I.U. of vitamin D.
And for the last four mornings, I've woken up with detailed memories of my dreams. In fact, I can still recall vivid images from the dreams I had last night, and it's past 10:00 PM. I'm not sure that my newly found ability to recall my dreams translates into anything actually useful, but it's intriguing.
The properly scientific thing to do would be to stop taking the D and see if my dreams go dark again, but honestly, I'd rather just keep remembering my dreams. I'm sure at some point I'll forget to take the vitamins — I can be all scientific then.
