Indeed that is odd, I occasionally have a vivid dream when the moon is not around, but more often than not, I can't remember my dreams at all or they slip away as soon as I wake up. Since I live in the middle of nowhere, there are no other lights around outside so I haven't been able to see if it's the light or the presence of the moon.
Next month I'll put something over my windows and see what happens.

That could be it, because when I go on vacation in the summer, I usually have more vivid dreams, and also after something good happening and when I am in a good mood. I rarely have a nightmare, and it only happens when I'm not in a good mood. Though, most of my nightmares are kinda cool.
[quote]<strong>unless, of course the connection is with the moon or moonlight itself -- not just the amount of general light coming in! a truly spooky idea but much more fun to consider!</strong><hr></blockquote>
Maybe the moon's gravitational pull does something to our minds?
