Is it normal to dream right after falling asleep?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to have dreamlike thoughts or images right as you’re falling asleep. They can feel vivid even though you’ve only just drifted off.

As you fall asleep, your brain can slip into a dreamy, half-awake state. You might see images, hear bits of sound, or experience a little story before you feel fully asleep. These are often called sleep-onset dreams, and lots of people have them.

Most vivid dreaming happens later in the night, but dreamlike experiences can show up early too. If it’s occasional and not bothering you, it’s generally nothing to worry about.
