Uhm if I do a lot I feel tired , wake up groggy. Is fun in general. My nightmares are super manageable but I still like to sit back and let my brain do its thing is less taxing for me and more fun and unexpected. I haven’t manage not dreaming on purpose, I wonder if that’s possible.
Edit: just realised that you ask about tales and reading. I can’t read very well in my dreams , when I read is all weird and even numbers look kind of off, so I haven’t being able to do that not that I have tried very hard. Lmao uhm I guess I am able to consistently do magic in my dreams and dream different scenario in fantasy worlds like harry potter , lord of the ring or song of ice and fire. If I am reading something IRL I can go through it again in my head and watch it like a movie if I really want to. I don’t like flying and wet dreams are extra fun too (ﾉ´∀｀*)
