How do you know all this? Usually the second I open my eyes, everything I was dreaming disappears.

Well, I usually remember most of my dreams upon awakening. Then, if the dream has been particularly interesting, I choose to remember it in detail so that it won't get forgotten, exceptionally I even write it down in full. Else, I simply forget it.

Some of my most memorable dreams include lucid dreams, i.e., I do realize that I'm dreaming but that realization doesn't trigger my instant awakening, I remain in the dream. In such occasions I usually perform a number of tests (while in the dream) which frequently result in my being truly amazed at the complexity of the human mind. One of the most amazing things is that the environment seems absolutely indistinguishable from real-life no matter how close I look at it or experience it.

But that's fully off-topic (sorry, Bob !) so that'll be all.

Regards.
