E.g. I noticed that when I sleep on my right cheek, my dreams tend to be more logical and analytical, whereas they tend to be more creative and full of fantasy when I sleep on my left cheek.
From Ttrocks14: I used to sleep on my left cheek and my dreams were ridiculous and crazy, like a red unicorn with chocolate hooves in a world made entirely of candy (i swear i dreamed about that); now i always sleep on my front with the covers over my head and that gives me more control over my dreams like a lucid dream. real people from my life are more present too, but sometimes objects can be wildly odd or out of proportion.
honestly sleeping posistion will not really impact what you will dream about it depends on what you think about before you go to bed and which side of the brain its more directed to. Sometimes people dream about their problems that their facing in daily life, or your phobia or issues that dwell on your suconscious mind. Personally I find it very interesting that dreams are like metaphors or your feelings. I dream vividly every night, and I tend to remember exact quotes, and physical attributes of objects. My bed is in the corner of my room, such that one side faces a wall, and the other is close to a window. I tend to find dreams where I am facing the window (brighter) to be less vivid, and overall happier. When I dream facing the wall, they are dark, surreal, extremely strange and just generally f'ed up. To me, that suggests the light level you are experiencing impacts the mood of your dreams. It might be because the left side of your brain is the creative side--or so I've been told--and the right side is the analytic side. I don't know if that would have any influence, having more pressure on either side, to dream more creatively or logical, but that's my guess.

Dreams often end abruptly because they are influenced by our brain's natural sleep cycles. As we transition from deeper stages of sleep to lighter stages, our dreams can be cut short, causing them to end just as they become more interesting or exciting.
From a purely biological view, dreams result from bioelectrical / biochemical signals that occur in the brain during sleep. These signals have observable patterns that correspond to the various stages of sleep.
One side of our brain governs the practical an the other imagination depending on the person which side is which. My auntie used to say she would always have nightmares when she slept on her back. To me you are blessed as you can go to sleep at least at the begining knowing the dreams you are going to have to start your night.
No it is not the case. It makes you sleep but does not control you dreams. It does not have any side effects like that.
