I’ve been wondering what the nation has been dreaming of late. It’s probably not the time to commence taking a medication with the documented side-effect of “vivid dreams and nightmares.” But a visit to Dr. Sleaze, who I really think I have to fire, resulted in just this. Ever the pessimist, I have been going to bed expecting to be churned through the subconscious mill with a vengeance. I had heard from fellow patients that Sustiva® rendered horror more colorful and apparently three dimensional than any DVD player. I had even heard that it was being sold as a street drug. Perhaps my lifelong inability to endure a movie with anything stronger than a gremlin in it is paying off. The dreams are vivid but thankfully the horror is absent. They appear to be art directed by Gianni Versace and display a tackiness of subject, costume and color that is more reminiscent of pornography than horror. Last night I was part of a female burglary team. We infiltrated the parties of the rich and famous and in between making inane conversation about oil free moisturizers, sipping champagne, and adjusting our Yves Saint Laurent sandals strapped high on our tanned and well muscled calves, we discreetly pocketed the jewelry and personal effects of the household. All of this was blissfully without guilt or the fear of being apprehended. I awoke with the distinct feeling of a job well done, of finally having found a métier that I relished, and only vague misgivings about my own shallow, not to mention immoral, nature.
by more vividly, does that mean you can recall them more readily or were the actions within the dream somehow rendered more exceptionally?
Can I have some?---

both, but more so in the rendering and therefore perhaps more memorable
