I think whenever we have an interesting dream, the first thing we do when we wake up is telling someone all about it.
Whether it be the partner, daughter, son, or even dog - someone has to be put through the ringers of being told about a dream they wasn't involved in.
And no matter how weird things get in a dream, you can't really experience what it felt like and what the dream actually entailed.
Well, you say that, but there is one video circulating on the web that provides a pretty good idea:

The video's title basically does all of the explaining: 'Places you've seen in your dreams' - and people think that description is pretty spot on.
It has been praised for revealing the locations of many people's dreams, including abandoned playgrounds, shopping malls and rolling countryside.
That's just a handful of the locations depicted, but they all have the same thing in common - there's not a single soul in sight.
The eerie video has gone viral, creating baffled and creeped out YouTube users in the process.
Many have praised the creator, Doctor Doggo, for managing to capture the scenes from inside their brains, indicating we might not be so clueless about each other's dreams, after all.
One viewer drew attention to one picture in particular, writing: "Oh boy. I so vividly remember this one dream I had in this exact setting.
"I was just chilling with my friend in that exact same room. The one thing is though, in the dream that tv wasn’t there, nor the two power outlets on the wall, everything else though is the same.
"My friend in the dream was anonymous, with their face and body all blacked out, almost as if they were just a shadow," they added.
Another viewer shared their own recognition of one of the scenes, commenting: "I have seen this exact weird layout of townhomes in a dream I had years and years ago as a child.
"I recognize it so much. It was about my aunt living in one of these, and we were packing the car to go to target but something was terribly, terribly wrong.
"Something was horrifying. I remember waking up in a panic. I remember this exact scenery though."
Behavioral sleep medicine expert Michelle Drerup has previously explained to Cleveland Clinic that we have 'far more to learn about what’s going on psychologically' when we dream, and while most people dream every night, we often don't remember them 'unless you’re awakened during or just after them'.
