I disagree. For those who enjoy random people's dreams. https://old.reddit.com/r/thomastheplankengine/ https://old.reddit.com/r/thomastheplankengine/

  While the subreddit is great, I think the original article still holds true for normal conversation. Your average person does not give a single shit about your dream and vice versa. Its value as a conversational tool is low and should be probably avoided unless specifically someone asks about your dream. The average person should probably never share their own dream unsolicited because there is a high chance it will add no value to the conversation whatsoever. I don’t know if I agree with the article in that somehow these creative minds have more special dreams either. I just know that layman’s dreams, including my own, almost always bore me to tears and aren’t the parable or allegory we might think they are, if even that I might sound slightly bitter but I’ve had literally hundreds of conversations over my lifetime hearing people sharing their dreams and I can easily count on one hand the amount of times that a productive or interesting conversation has emerged as a result.

    That's the opposite with me! I just talked to my friend (yesterday) about his dream with a marriage and a child and how he met his feral girlfriend. He said he felt like he lived through a whole lifetime and we talked about dreams like that and how we could get more "inception" dreams where we live our lives and need psychedelic integration before coming back to our own dreary lives. I talked about the science of dreams and theories of them too and try to interpret it. I always do dream interpretation too and it's fun to think of where those thoughts came from. It's just another way of thinking of dreams.
