i just dont understand it why we forgot our dreams few minutes after we woke up. there are times when i open my eyes and have a nice dream or a dream that something worth telling to a friend, i would tell myself not to forget it. But then after few minutes, i cant remember anything of what i have dreamt of. I know somebody who would write her dreams on a paper immediately after she woke up so that she would just read it in cases that she forgot it. how about you?

I once read a book that said if you can't remember any of your dreams, you might be low on a certain adrenal hormone. I forgot which hormone it is. It's normal to forget most of your dreams, I think, but you should be able to remember a few of them from time to time. I don't remember very many of mine right now probably because I am low on that hormone that the book I read mentioned.

Yeah I do remember my dreams most of the time, I don't remember them all the time. But most of the time I can remember them. I try to remember them as much as I can, but sometimes I can't. Well have a great night.. and have great dreams.

Hi there... Sometimes I can remember my dreams. There has been times though when just before Ive woken from a dream, I try to remember and then I cant, my mind goes blank... Then it comes back to me afterwards, or days later...

I usually forget my dreams, but the important dreams that I do remember, I write them down. I don't understand why we forget them either. :)
