My dreams too lately have been more vivid and a bit more litteral than in the past.
I attribute this to the weather, a big pressure system moving in and bringing snow.

How nature can affect your dreams

Next time you have a particularly interesting or vivid dream, pay attention to what the atmospheric conditions are. Some people have wild dreams when storms are imminent, while other people are affected by pressure systems. This is not all that unusual, when you think that our ancestors used to be much more in touch with our environment and the natural world than we are in our busy and civilised lives. It does not mean that we have lost the skill of understanding the weather, simply that we have forgotten how to pay attention, to listen to our instincts. Often our dreams will tell us things that we know instinctively, but our conscious waking minds no longer value as important and therefore relegate to the subconscious.
In previous centuries, detecting the signs that a storm was coming could have been a matter of survival if it meant avoiding flash floods or being caught out in the open and the risk of being hit by lightning. At the very least, knowing to protect your home and batten down the hatches, or ensure a crop was either harvested or protected before storms would have been a valuable skill. These days in Western society, knowing a storm is coming often (though of course in notable exceptions, not always) means little more than staying indoors or carrying an umbrella. Similarly, to our ancestors, knowing that you could relax and let the crops grow, or safely go on the hunt would have created a great peace of mind.
It is possible for us to re-tune ourselves to the subtle messages nature gives us, by re-tuning ourselves to our own subtle natures. One of these ways is through listening to our dreams...............

Sometimes my dreams go rather psychedelic after eating spicy Indian or Mexican food, but that is another matter.
