Recently, I’ve been having extremely weird nights a couple of times. I have great dream recall, but the recall lasts ALL NIGHT. All 8 hours of it, it seems. I wake up a lot during the night, but only for a few seconds at a time before I fall back asleep. Anyone else have this happen to them?
You mean, you remember 8 hours of dreams ?? Or you felt like you dreamt all night ?
Sometimes I get excellent recall. In days where I’m in a very good humor, or when I have a good night of sleep, I tend to have a loooooooooooooooooooooooot of recall 
No, I mean I’m awake all night. Even when sleeping.
You sleep in ninety minute cycles. Thirty minutes to get into sleep. Thirty minutes in REM and Thirty minutes to get out of sleep. Most people sleep heavy enough not to notice the cycles. But if you are stressed out or are a light sleeper, you will wake up slightly every ninety minutes while you go in and out of the dream cycles. When this happens, you remember your dreams all night.
You know how usually you only remember the dream that you wake up for in the morning? You feel like your dreaming all night when you wake up every ninety minutes simply because by waking up, you have a second to remember. Normally, you don’t wake up so you give your brain no time to remember.
Its possible to train yourself to wake up slightly every ninety minutes. I don’t recommend it as I trained myself while I was really into dreaming and lucid dreaming a few years back. It started to effect my waking life so I had to stop. But I still have effects from it to this day. If I sleep really light, I wake up every ninety minutes and feel like crap the next day.
Light and Love,

I bet you that you had really good lucid dreams within those 90 minute wake-up periods though
