On the other hand there's no guarantee that you'd remember the dream if you were to sleep on.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Since I started writing down my dreams upon wakeup I can remember nearly every single dream because my brain is now trained to do that
I mean, you wouldn't remember the ones you forgot.
Remember the forgotten ones
Biggest mistake in regards to this that still haunts me actively was using a song I enjoyed as an alarm. I was young and stupid. Now i can't help but hate that song whenever I hear it. Still.
Oh god same. It was an old phone without much disk space and I had exactly one song on it. And I moron used it as alarm. Now I absolutely hate that song.
No but actually tho!
You set your alarm because you have to get up. Dreams are destroyed by an obligation that forces you to wake up earlier than natural. Usually work, or something that prepared you for work like schooling.
But think of all the nighmares interrupted as well.
Have an angry upvote. Literally true.
You don't think the sun has destroyed more dreams in both figurative and literal senses?
Or capitalism?
Got one destroyed by the alarm clock just this morning.
Sometimes this is a very, very good thing. Destroyed dreams are not always a bad thing.
Maybe if you count the rooster, and Clugg banging on rocks outside the cave as alarm clocks.
This equivocates between two meanings of "dream."
Exactly.
