I have been dreaming and remembering it a LOT more in the past two weeks than I was in the last month, possibly more in the past two weeks than in the last six months. I didn't realize until I started dreaming again that something was missing; and then I realized exactly how stressed I'd been, because that's a really big thing to miss.
Fire, and the backyard of my childhood home (as transformed into a savannah with desert mesas and a long underground covered canal/waterslide ride with incan brickwork, fish, skylights, and hanging tropical flowering plants) are apparently this month's reoccuring themes. Not sure what that means, if anything, but the waterslide part is nice. Fire, not so much.
