Is it normal to dream before falling asleep?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes. Brief dreamlike images, sounds, or story fragments as you’re drifting off are common and usually just part of the transition into sleep.
You can start dreaming before you feel fully asleep. As your brain winds down, it may mix bits of memory and imagination into vivid images or sounds—sometimes called hypnagogic experiences. They can feel surprisingly real, but they’re usually brief.
