A kind of dreamer
Early-light realist
Up with the light, dreams that stay close to the day.
Your nights
What being a early-light realist says.
A dreamer type is a playful mirror of your sleep rhythm and how much of your dreams you keep. It is not a diagnosis, and it can change from season to season.
How your nights tend to go
You go to bed in good time and wake with the light. Your dreams stay close to the day: familiar rooms, familiar people, yesterday’s to-do list in a slightly odd order.
One thing to try tonight
Tomorrow, before you get up, name one thing from the dream and one thing from the last few days it reminds you of. More mornings than not, you will find the thread.
From the Dream Atlas
Some of today shows up in your dreams about a week from now. Researchers call it the dream-lag effect.
