The more and more I remember dreams, the more curiousities I have. Do most people dream in sequence (even if the subject changes, but it still flows) or in scattered bits that jump around?
For me, I seem to mostly dream in sequence. I have dreamed in scattered bits very rarely (last night being one of them).

I dream in sequences quite often. I dream in spontaneous bursts sometimes but not a lot. Of course it's usually these dreams I don't remember much of. Maybe it's because when you dream and jump topics the "theme" is not imprinted as much. Whereas when you dream in sequence where one dream flows into the next the overall theme is pretty much constante which makes it easier to remember.

Most of my dreams are random. (Not sure if this fits here. >) Like today. I dreamed a cat was attacking me and when i tried to get it back it would hide in a dogs mouth. I started becoming lucid and thought a cat can't fit in a dogs mouth. Then the dog suddenly swallowed the cat. After that my alarm clock went off. (The majority of my dreams are really really strange and beyond comprehension and translation.)

My dreams over the last several months have been very much in sequence. It seems often that the dream theme will be the same through out all the dreams in one night. Plus I do a lot of waking several times in the morning setting my alarm to go off at 10 minute intervals so this lets me jump right back in the same dream scene over and over again sometimes repeating the dream but doing this differently in them a bit.
I think maybe "scattered dreaming" can come from daydreaming within your dream. So there you are in a dream lets say of being with friends at a concert and then you begin daydreaming of snowboarding and before you know it you boarding down a mountain of snow. Then in the dream your just in your awoken from you "daydream" back into the previous dream with you friends. I think this might attribute to some scattered dreams because it's happened to me before. I actually have a post somewhere on this forum about daydreaming in your dreams.

I do the same thing with my alarm, but only on my son's school days.

now I just wrote about this topic in my journal lol..
so I this is what I think,...if you are scattered in your thinking during the day..like perhaps your thoughts are not focused it will show up as scattered in your dreams as well..however since it is the sub, it is still picking up your random thoughts during the day..and events/feelings you normaly would not pick up., but I think your thought patterns have much to do with the sequence of your dreams

I've just noticed that it seems the later I goto bed and the more tired I am, then the more scattered and nondescriptive my dreams seem to be. Or sometimes I don't remember them at all. I've been doing this a lot lately.
