I don't know much about this phenomenon. But I Googled and what I found https://theadviceable.com/2022/07/06/why-are-my-dreams-so-vivid-and-realistic/ https://www.wikihow.com/Why-Do-My-Dreams-Feel-So-Real# Probably you can't go by the links. I copied the text of one of the articles: Why Are Dreams So Vivid? Possible Causes & How to Control Them Sometimes, you have a dream so emotionally intense and rich in detail that it feels as though it actually happened. But why? Read on to learn all you need to know about the possible causes of vivid dreams. And while vivid dreams aren't necessarily harmful in and of themselves, we'll also show you ways to prevent them if you're having dreams that scare you or make you uncomfortable. Causes of Vivid Dreams - Vivid dreams feel so emotionally intense and real because the same parts of your brain that process sensory information when you're awake are active. - Vivid dreams have many causes, including stress or anxiety, hormonal shifts, sleep disorders, and various medications. - If you find vivid dreams overwhelming, you can prevent them by practicing good sleep hygiene, using relaxation techniques, and avoiding alcohol or recreational drugs. Possible Causes of Vivid Dreams Download Article 1. Stress and anxiety If you're experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety in your waking life, that can have a profound impact on your sleep. In addition to leading to sleep disturbances, it can also cause you to have more vivid dreams.[1]Vivid dreams caused by stress and anxiety are more likely to be upsetting or frightening dreams. 2. Alcohol or drug use Alcohol and recreational drugs can sometimes lead to vivid dreams, especially if you partake on a regular basis.[2] On the other end of the spectrum, alcohol suppresses REM sleep, so if you used to drink frequently, abstaining from alcohol can actually lead to more vivid dreams.[3] 3. Hormonal shifts Changes in the hormones in your body, especially those associated with pregnancy, can lead to vivid dreams. In the later stages of pregnancy, you're also more likely to have upsetting or frightening dreams that are particularly vivid.[4]Other dramatic hormonal shifts, such as those associated with puberty, menopause, or hormone replacement therapy, can also cause vivid dreams. 4. Sleep deprivation If you haven't had a good night's sleep in a while, such as if you suffer from insomnia, you might experience an REM rebound. The more REM sleep you have in a night, the more likely you are to also have vivid dreams—especially nightmares.[5]Fortunately, your nightmares and vivid dreams will typically stop on their own once you've had several nights of sufficient sleep. 5. Sleep disorders Narcolepsy (a sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness) in particular is associated with vivid dreams. People with narcolepsy frequently report experiencing vivid and bizarre dreams. Other sleep disorders, including sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome, can sometimes trigger vivid dreams.[6]If you're woken up in the middle of REM sleep, you're also more likely to remember your dreams more vividly than if you have the opportunity to progress through the sleep cycles before waking. 6. Medications Stimulants, some prescription sleep aids, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications have all been linked with an increase in vivid dreams, and particularly nightmares, in some patients. These drugs might cause you to have more vivid dreams than you have in the past. They can also increase the vividness of the vivid dreams that you already have.[7]Some medications have actually been taken off the market because of this side effect, even though vivid dreams aren't harmful in and of themselves.[8] 7. Physical or mental health conditions Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia have been linked to vivid dreams, especially nightmares. Nightmares are also strongly connected to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[9]Sleep disturbances, including vivid dreams, are also associated with age-related neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.[10]

@Ada Ada If you mean OUR LME community, something similar we already have. But technically, only admins like @Serge Gray can add content but many people can use it. Putting content just into feed is not convenient because it could be difficult to find it later
