Every time we sleep, that is for sure that we dream of something. BUt i don't think all people remember the dreams. Actually, I remember my dream last night and it was terrible because it was about a huge accident. I usually remember my dreams, but definitely not all. How about the rest of mylotters?

I think there was a scientific explanation behind why we often forgets our dream. But there were times that it seems so real that it's either you get a nightmare, or you love the dream so much that you try getting back to sleep LOL! In my case there were times, That when I wake up. I tried my best what was my dream, sometimes i get to remember some parts, but most of the time I fail.. But it's fun, I think.

Actually, I do not remember most of my dreams. My professor said that it is a bad sign if you do remember your dream because it means that you did not get enough rest. Sometimes, using alarm clocks makes you forget those dreams and messes up with your biological clock. That is why sometimes you wake up cranky. You also loose the opportunity of getting to know yourself more if you forget your dreams. What you dreamed of is what is hidden in your unconscious coming from a Freudian perspective. Although, I don't believe in his interpretation of dreams most of the time. You alone could figure out what your dream meant and may probably help you through tough times too. :D

I don't always remember my dreams, when I wake up. I do know that I dream every night, but there are very few times when I can remember part, if not all, of my dreams. I know that we all dream every night, but I don't think that we always remember our dreams.

There are many kinds of dreams and some of them you can't really remember. Sometimes dreams like that occurs to me and sometime that dreams are the ones that I really don't want to forget. There are also dreams that you know you are dreaming and you want to manipulate your dreams. These are called lucid dreams and whenever I have them I make sure I always get the happy ending!

Yes we always dream when we are sleeping sometimes we think that last night we do not have dreamed, because we do not remember anything. I just remember when I was little kid I always said last night I do not have a dream. No I do not remember all my dreams, but I had a situations a dream for something then I wake up then I go sleep again and I continue dream the same dream. I do not remember last night dream, but before yesterdays night I dream about school. Take care, Have a nice day!

I do remeber most of my dreams when i wake up in the morning. I may not always understand them. That can be frustrating. If someone wakes me from my sleep, i am less likely to remember what i was dreaming about. the subconscious can be quite punishing that way.

There are times when I know I am dreaming and that I should be awake already so immediately when I wake up, I'd remember that exact dream. It's really weird.

You are correct not every dream are remembered when we wake up, may be you could remember the worst dream and the best dream. For me, I do not remember my dream always, but do you believe some of my came to reality specially those I remember most and do you believe that some dream has a meaning or message? Because I believe that very dream has a message and has a meaning.

i usually remember my dreams when it includes significant people in my life or some unfinished business that i should be doing in that same moment (instead of sleeping) haha. i also dream about the things i should do after i sleep and wake up thinking that i've already done them.

I'm usually pretty good about remembering my dreams, but I sort of had to train myself to do it and I think other people do too. If you don't remember them as soon as you wake up, you're less likely to remember them later on. Sometimes I forget my dreams and I have to really rack my brains to get the images to come, but I usually remember pretty important details that help me remember everything else about the dream.

We all dream in every night at least 7 dreams, but some are short, some are large. We don`t remember all dreams in the morning, i think it depends of what mood are you, and what you dreamt, could be something that scared you very much, or something that pleased you very much. We don`t choose what dreams to remember and what not to remember in the morning.
