  1. We all dream every day, or rather, every night. Dreams are born in our brain during the so-called REM sleep stage. At this time, our brain processes information, forms memory, discards and forgets unnecessary memories. Fragments of this information processing turn into dreams. Some people, because of their personal brain function, remember them, and some do not. This means nothing and does not affect anything. Therefore, both dreamers and non-dreamers are absolutely normal and full-fledged.

  2. I would say that some dreams are remembered, and some are not. It depends on the exact moment when you saw this dream. And all people have dreams 🙂

  3. If a person is woken up during the so-called “REM sleep” phase, that is, when the electrical activity of the brain is similar in its parameters to the activity of the brain of a waking person, then in about 90% of cases the person will tell in detail the dream they saw. At the same time, if a person wakes up by himself, then half of the dreams he has seen are forgotten within a few minutes. That is, a person dreams much more than they remember: every night and, most likely, in each phase of “REM sleep”, which lasts 90-100 minutes.

    As for the ability to remember dreams, it is more pronounced in people who are particularly susceptible to environmental stimuli – they are more likely to wake up to sounds, lights, etc.This reaction also extends to the state of wakefulness in such people – for example, increased electrical activity of the brain when they hear their own name. In other words, the ability to remember dreams better than others is one of the manifestations of a general increased sensitivity.

  4. Much has been written about sleep phases and this is completely true. But few people have clarified the situation why some wake up to remember a dream, while others believe that they did not see anything.
    And so, sleep is the work of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind, unlike consciousness, operates not with facts, but with emotions. During the day, a person experiences a turbulent emotional life, his subconscious mind has something to work with. The whole day's experience should be analyzed, significant things identified, sorted out, and when reference points are identified, the consciousness should be warned about them. Accordingly, the sleep body is information processing, the most vivid moments are possible reference points, an attempt to predict the development of events based on analysis.
    You didn't remember the dream, so you didn't remember anything important, and your life flows smoothly and calmly. Be happy for your nerves.

  5. Everyone sees dreams, but not everyone remembers them. I have heard that a person sees an average of about 7 dreams per night. If you want to remember your dreams, try writing down what you remember as soon as you wake up, at least the main storyline of the dream. It's called the dream diary. Also, if you're interested, google lucid dreaming. Interesting thing 🙂 Also, if you want to wake up refreshed, you need to catch up on REM sleep. Fitness bracelets can help with this, and if you don't want to spend money, then sleep trackers for smartphones. For example Sleep As Android

  6. It all depends on when you wake up. I'll explain: our sleep is divided into 2 parts: slow (deep) sleep and fast (shallow) sleep.Periodically, every 80-90 minutes, slow-wave sleep is replaced by fast-wave sleep, which accounts for approximately 20% of the total sleep time. If a person is woken up at this time, he remembers what he saw in his dreams. So I'll repeat myself: it all depends on when you wake up.

  7. In biology at school, we were told that sleep is divided into several phases. The one in which we see the dream itself is quite short, the one in which we don't see it is long. So, to remember a dream, you need something to wake you up in the “viewing”phase. If you wake up after a good night's sleep, you won't remember the dream.
