Why can't we remember some of our dreams??

Question:

Answers:
i think its because were on another level of consciousness when we are sleeping so it gets foggy to us when we wake up. one trick i have read is to write down the details of your dreams in a notebook or journal first thing when you wake up because thats when its fresh in your mind.

Other Answers:
lol. i've been wondering myself.

We can only remember the dreams that we wake during. Best wishes It's just like that, we can remember some and not others, that's how our brain functions.

who knows

i figure, if you dont write them down as soon as you wake up that is why

i don't know i've wondered the same thing let me know if u get a good answer Sometimes we just forget, other times ourminds surpress them. Why? They seem to real,violent,it be something that you dont want to face or realize

probably caus ei dont even remember what i did 5 minutes ago

not enough vitamin B1
try it
Take a few more than whats on the bottle but don't over do you get a headache

Gosh, I'm glad we can't. I had this HORRIBLE nightmare the other night, and I can't remember most of it just one part, but it is making me feel sick. Like really, puke sick, just whenever I think about it. I remember all my dreams and in color too

We aren't supposed too I guess.

Because there are different stages of sleep and sometimes you wake up at the wrong stage of sleep and forget your dreams. Thats what I remember from psychology class.

im glad i dont remember my dreams,half the time its hard for me to remember my own realty. I took a dream journaling class and was told that we consciously have to think about remembering our dreams before we go to bed at night. Maybe you should look online or check out some books on the subject.

i read a book saying that we only remember incomplete dreams, where if the dream story complete it is erased.
that's why we never remember a complete dream

Well it is maybe dreams that we love and hate the most are the ones we reamber Some say we only remember our "nightmares". What you need to do to remember your dreams is to ask God or whoever your "higher being" is to help you remember your dreams. You need to keep a pen and paper next to your bed or under your pillow and when you wake up in the morning before you even get out of bed right down all you can remember.

I haven't personally done this but you can purchase a book by Sylvia Browne called Dreams and it tells you all about it.

There is a memory hand-off. We have short-term memory and long-term memory and little intermediate shelves for items of both. We see something at a moment and as we process that information we make a determination, "I'm saving that" and it passes to long-term memory while it is still in short-term memory. When done using it or the time elapses, short-term memory drops it. When an event elapses that signals an end to need, long-term memory also drops it. I used to do that for tests all the time. Sometimes I knew the answers as I studied for it, but when the test is over, I couldn't score half so well an hour later or even half that well the next day. The memory fades. As with dreams, sometimes at the instant I awake I remember parts of the dream vividly, but a few minutes later, only a little, a few hours later, almost none. There are the exceptions on both sides. Some dreams I retain parts of for a long, long time, remembering them for years. Some I don't remember at all. We do that with our few basic instincts. Infants instinctively know how to swim and as with porpoises, we have to teach our young how to come up for air. But very, very soon afterwards the same baby would easily drown. Similarly, mother's breasts. Infants search for them and want to suck to eat from them. Then mothers wean them off and interest dies until boys enter adolescence and then the interest isn't a meal but that which leads to the satisfaction of other appetites, ironically, that which produces more infants. Our memories do some interesting (and often fickle) things. mostly it has to do with going to bed when a person is so tired your brain is not functioning to good like it should.

We have to wake up during the dream has to do with REM stages of sleep, we actually only get 90 minutes of Hardcore sleep. I might be off a little been a while since i studied sleep.
