That was just the thought that came to my mind when I read your original post and I simply wanted to share it with you.

Ya, Essence got some good point here.
Sometimes your higher-self/guide(s) are trying to give you some important inner message(s), and your consciousness is rejecting the message, or used to - and conditioned to - repress whatever can be connected to the message. There are many ways to bypass the phenomenon successfully and many reasons and means for the repression. This is also evident in spiritual awakenings as people report of sleeplessness and dreamless sleep, high-subjective-energy-feeling, and also the mind-body are in a better synchronization, so you might need less sleep or more sleep sometimes, and you might need less dream-time, since your-altered-mind-processes are processing the data dreams process, on waking time as well.
This can be explained with this model of dreams:
Dreams are like stars, they are always there in the skies, but we usually see them only at night time.
Dreams can be some general process running in the background, only usually manifesting as a visual dream if the body is in the right condition not to receive any other stimuli.
This could be an awakening or depression, and that depends on how the "background dreams suddenly in some action" are handled by consciousness. Many dreams and such "sudden insights" are with a physical analogy, which the mind usually rejects out of language (a man with 4 heads, a woman with a phallus, a god with 7 fingers on each hand, some anal-nasty-analogies). this could be all valid "inner-feeling", and they have no real barrier if they want to express themselves in dreams, but in waking, and with a conscious-mind that tries to assimilate data with some kind of conscious rules-of-language-while-thinking-and-talking, the messages cannot always express themselves, which can cause some depression, as other cases of depression, always with something being depressed, and it can cause some more inner-outer-natural-feeling, if you learn how to assimilate it in your conscious thinking and expression, or if you learn to shut it out with repression, or if you learn to deal with it with meditations and other "beyond language thinking"s (if you can't stop thinking and really really have to, just take a shower with the coldest water possible, you might not stop thinking totally, but you'll be thinking about something else, as real as it can get, and this beats vomiting, in my opinion).
Now, if that is the case, not necessarily so "bad" or "intense" or "powerful" or "spiritual awakening", the best way you can still get the message, is if you can recall dreams in this period of time, even if they are less, or appear to be less, this could be a message from the higher self, that waking consciousness rejects.
Now, not only will you "get the message", you will also express it (in the dream, and in writing), since nothing stops you from dreaming it, or writing it, or remember it later (don't worry, it's ok to dream about anything, nobody can tell you what not to dream, and if they do, they can never catch you anyway, and you always have the best possible "moral" excuse)
About understanding the message, this is something else, but sometimes only expressing what couldn't-be-expressed-before, even if only symbolically in a remembered-dream and in writing, can release it.
(you also understand your dreams more when you write, but that's extra)
If you accept the concept of higher-self and/or guide and/or guides, and if you don't, please remember that all these concepts usually and always refer to some inner-aspect, that appears separate from normal-consciousness, but actually "allows" the connection between consciousness and unconsciousness, to show something to the consciousness.
So, a dream is how those concepts can be contacted, since a dream is also unconscious (contains contents and elements of the unconscious mind) and is also conscious (remembered and experienced by consciousness, as opposed to other unconscious processes), so the dream is actually a "message"/"expression" that combines the two.
This is why many describe either
1. their higher-self/guide/guides as APPEARING in their dreams.
2. higher-beings/guide/guides/and-more as CREATING their dreams.
3. other people that can show consciousness/unconsciousness connection (to oneself), are possibly conceived as Higher-Self/Guide/Guides - like psychologists,gurus, priests (of all versions), other-sex-humans-sometimes, parents, mind-readers, numerologists, astrologers, cult-leaders, books, poets, rock-stars, and to some extant anybody that can show you something about you, that you take seriously enough, and you didn't know before.
(accomplished Indian yoga gurus, are usually aware to this inevitable phenomenon, and instruct their students to connect to their own higher-self, also "cooling down" students with a negative other-is-my-higher-self-projection, or a fixed such projection).
All in all, writing your dreams down can only do good to you, usually, no matter what your beliefs are (you can reject beliefs in monsters and angels existence but you'd be wise not to reject the possibility of their appearance in the dream world).
Hope this helps
