I don't plan on ever taking psilocybin- but why dreams?- Asking cause I almost never remember any- unless I wake up at a weird time- or sleep in a weird circumstance.

Is it indicative of anything?- I sleep really well, never had any issues with sleep- and wake up well-rested. Is it better to remember more dreams?- if so what are the benefits and how to go about doing it?

I’d love to have an answer to this! As I said this is anecdotal, based on many years of experiences with friends, and the ones tending to have more vivid dreams seem to have more intense trips given equivalent dosage. It became a bit of a pet theory at some point so I ask about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some confirmation bias or something like that at play, but given the kind of hallucinatory nature of dreams I can also imagine some sort of linked mechanism.

I also rarely remember dreams and despite occasional exceptions wouldn’t consider most of them vivid. So I tend toward heavier dosages :)
