Why are my dreams insane and vivid?

Question

I have had vivid dreams for as long as I can remember, my earliest dream was around age 6. As I am almost 30, I wonder WTF is going on? My dreams are all so random and none of them seem to make sense. Some of them having imagery that I know has meaning but most do not.

For example, in a lot of my dreams I may be at houses or museums or landscapes and could draw out the floor plans or draw the texture of these places. Sometimes there’s people I know there, but usually not. My dream from last night was a house that was colorful and cluttered, it was for rent and there was another couple there and my partner and I were going to be roommates with them (I own a house with my husband?) Also, this place was a dog training camp during the day and another couple was currently renting it. In the basement there was a gym for 6+ feet Asian athletes who looked like anime characters. I can remember the gym equipment, the home office, even the magnets on the fridge. I could draw a layout of everything and so many of the details, this is just one dream that I had last night. I’ve had 5 or more in the last two weeks that are just as wild and bizarre. My dreams are like memories and when I wake up I’m so exhausted.

What do you recommend? What could be wrong with my brain? If you’re curious, I can share more of my wild dreams too from this week, themes are; Dolly Parton, Arizona canyons, elementary school reunion, Bridgerton clues, and roadside real-estate.
