Don't know how to reply you in less than 60 pages of formal write up on what my thoughts about dream. In my early years, I do share the same feeling as you because I watch prawn until late, sometimes even until early morning. There's no time to dream nor get wet before the alarm goes off and I'm off to work. Occasionally I "remember" Stepmom Corey wanted me to do something nasty, which I reluctant but I still did in the dream 🤣, but most of the time like you said, something I left off in work place, or any event thay worries me in the nrar future thats gonna take place.
As my age catching up, family commitments, work and all, my dream "content" started to change. Sometimes, it has no content, but I can feel the "blankness" of that dream. It's like I'm counting down until the alarm goes off. However, the "format" of the dream doesn't change. Story started out of no where. There's no "in the beginning" nor "once upon a time". It's always abruptly found myself standing by the street and war broke out. Or a better version, suddenly Stepmom Corey wanna buy me Ferrari if I do exactly what she told me to 🤣
Go watch if you haven't
