This is possibly boring

Other people’s dreams are dreadfully wearisome

I don’t know who said it, but I’ve tried to live by it. I don’t like to talk about what happens in my dreams; boring people describe their dreams.
But if I can’t talk about content, can I talk about character? I often wonder if I dream the same way that other people do. My best evidence of this is lacking in credentials: television and movies. Whenever there is a dream sequence there, it is either mistaken for reality or it makes no sense.
The dreams I have, or at least the good ones that I have a chance of remembering, do have plots. The events that happen all build off one another. There are unexpected twists, but nothing that makes no sense. There are even hints of foreshadowing. The biggest weirdness is usually that my perspective changes to different characters.
It often feels like an improvised play, where little things casually mentioned earlier become very important. The rules don’t always make sense, but they are generally consistent. E.g. in this reality it is vitally important that I go for a walk in these woods even if I have evidence that there are people trying to kill me in it.
Is this consistent with the ways other people dream?
What brought this on was that I had a dream that was set near my parent’s house. The landscape was different, but even after I woke up I was sure that was what the area looked like. It was only after actively thinking did I realize that that was not true. But it reminded me of other remembered landscapes near my parent’s house that I thought were real. But if I tried to think how to get to them, I realize those were from dreams as well.
And that is unfortunate, because there were apparently some really good running trails out there.
