Realistic dreams

Some of my friends tell me that they dream, but rarely remember anything about them. I've always found that interesting because I dream - but remember lots of things.

Last night was typical: I dreamt that I was helping to remodel a house and I clearly remember placing two dark green plastic knobs on top of two lighting knife switches on a wall panel in a bedroom. Ok, ok...why would a bedroom use those kinds of switches? I have no idea. I simply remember the color, texture and feel of these particular circular dark green plastic knobs.

And in real life, I've never come close to that kind of hardware. Never seen it, never felt it.

Now I must admit, my dreams fade after a few days so I don't have explicit memories of most of them say, 20 years later. But I do experience "living" in dreams that I have no reference for in the "real world."

Anyone else have these kinds of dream experiences? Or are you stuck with flying, falling and being unprepared for a high school test, like 95% of my friends talk about?
