Recent evidence and various sleep studies suggest that your sleep position could influence your dreams. Take a look at the sleep positions below, and see if your sleep position correlates with the types of dreams you're having.
Bring on the puppies and rainbows, right-side sleepers! Right-side sleepers experience more positive and happy dreams and had fewer nightmares than left-side sleepers. Those who slept on their right were also more likely to report better quality of sleep than lefties.
The study also mentions that those who sleep on their back experience dreams about vulnerability and feeling exposed — like showing up late for a final exam you forgot you had or suddenly being naked in public. Back sleepers also may have a harder time remembering their dreams, but maybe that's not such a bad thing.
In another study conducted by Dr. Calvin Kai-Ching Yu, PhD, of Hong Kong Shue Yan University, he concluded that the individuals who slept facedown on their belly were more likely to have a wide range of love-related dreams, like kissing a stranger, getting married, or dating a celebrity.
Those who sleep at an incline allegedly dream more vividly. It's assumed a person is closer to wakefulness when they're in a more upright position.

When you experience a vivid dream, it feels incredibly real. Often, even after you've woke up, you thought that it really happened because you are so deeply involved in the dream.
