Re: what I want to know ...
Yeah, I'm jealous. I have "movie dreams" (as I think of them) a couple of times a year if I'm lucky, but normally I can't remember much about them when I wake up. *Sometimes* I will be able to dream a last name, but not a whole bunch, and even then they are not really names (one time someone's "last name" was just a picture of a wheel).

There's elements in my dreams that make sense, but not anything like some of the elaborate full-length movies sometimes seen on this board.
It reminds me of my favorite author, Betty MacDonald, talking about how little kids always want to tell about their dreams, which as an adult she considered long, boring, made-up-along-the-way stories. (She told it a lot funnier than I did.)
