Intensive dreaming

This past few nights i've been sleeping very heavily and have been having some long and fascinating dreams. I'll post last nights in a minute in the other dream section but I find it strange that as soon as I move the majority of my crystals from my bedside table my dreams get more intesnse, maybe there were just too many around me

More and more I have been experiencing intense 'dreaming'. For a long time, I spent much of my time at night in some type of combat situations ( I think I was doing step-ins, but not sure), but for some time now, I have been visiting various alien races both here and (it seems) on their home planets. I know that I am going through some very intense learning at this point, and it is leaving me very drained every morning.

Yeah I tend to wake up more tired than when I went to bed Since I posted that the dreams have tapered off, i'm only remembering very small snippets now which is frustrating

Intensive Dreaming? Would you call that Lucid Dreaming? Where we dream of 'real' events in our lives?

Are these dreams affected by day time occurences?

Or are subconscious thoughts advising us on how to live our lives?
