Why Don't We Remember Most Of Our Dreams?

Question

Its like as soon as you wake up, the memory of that dream has gone.

Answer 1

I don't know why, but I used to never remember my dreams and then I got into the habit of writing them down as soon as I woke up, and now I remember them nearly every day.. I guess it's like training yourself to remember them.

Answer 5

The same thing happens with me. However, sometimes I can remember my dreams an hour or two after I wake up.

Answer 6

For me personally, I won't remember the dream unless it impacted me in some way. I've dreamt of former crushes dying before and that is how I developed the crush on them. In most cases, my dreams are just random scenes and I hardly remember those.

Answer 7

Because you are not supposed to remember your dreams unless they are trying to tell you something.  Your brain is never asleep and it uses the time we are asleep to sort things out and work things out sort of like a computer def-rag  So the fact that you do not remember your dreams makes you perfectly normal.

Answer 8

Answer 9
