Yeah, I seem to dream shortly before waking up.

I think we have more REM sleep shortly before waking up. Plus if you wake up from REM you're more likely to remember what you were dreaming about.
Hmm. I don't remember, usually, but I do have great mental clarity, when I wake up. Often wake up to solutions to problems.
I'm glad I don't remember. When I do remember, they're usually either dull and repetitive, or nightmares.
Never understood why anyone would want to remember dreams.
I wanted to learn how to manipulate my own dreams, at one point, but made no progress and lost interest.
yeah, that whole thing is so overrated
you probably remember the movie Waking Life
Never seen it. I have seen Inception, though.
key thing i have found in the level of dream recall has been about the level of protein in the diet and the proximity of eating to sleeping, and other things play a role, but it's mostly about how much tyrosine and phenylalanine is in your blood, whether you are likely to wake up
needing to pee - maybe more likely to remember dreams
loud noises right as you are in REM - you will remember the dreams, but maybe whatever made the noise will wipe your memory fast
also, i have had my sleep patterns analysed... i don't quite have early onset REM but the neurologist was fit to throw amphetamines or ritalin at me and having used both and had bad experiences i declined
i don't have that sleepiness problem these days
barely can even sleep anymore... once i wake up and take a dump i can't go back to sleep at all
probably going to try not eating anything until lunch time, in fact, it's driving me nuts
Maybe eat and drink less before bed, so you don't have to get up to use the bathroom?
i'm really in a bad way with drinking coffee and alcohol
i really need to stop both of them, they are stopping my kidneys from recovering
i have already been forced to cut carbs almost completely out of my diet but these are the last two things that i really don't need and need to stop
