Why do people not remember dreams? There is a sense that if you dream, and then you wake up abruptly,it causes your brain, to not remember what took place while you sleep, then in turn, your mind is not at ease. I remember some of my dreams,because I had a great day without any problems, or cause my body and mind to not feel stressed. At times you are relaxed and feel so good, that it is possible to remember some of the dream,but not all of the dream. A point to think about when you go to sleep. If in your mind that you still remember the dream you had the night before, then there is a chance you will remember what the dream was about. The percentage of the dreams you have and want to remember, and you want to try to continue that dream the day before,is only possible,if your mind is clear, and when you go to sleep and you tell yourself about the dream,that it is about 1% of the time you have a chance to be able to continue the dream. Have a dream to appreciate the life you have, and what you can share the following day.
