How often do you remember your dreams? According to this article by Discover Magazine, a study in 2015 found that 1 in every 250 people have never ever remembered a dream in their lifetime. That’s a small percentage, but not tiny! Are you one of those people?
Raphael Vallat, a neuroscientist specializing in sleep and dream research at the University of California, Berkeley, says that how a person’s brain is wired affects how (and how often) they remember their dreams.
Do you remember your dreams every night? A few times a week? Once a month? Never? Please tell us in the poll below. If you have an interesting story about a dream, leave a comment too!
I can still remember one I had earlier this morning but by tomorrow it’ll probably be gone. That’s the way dreams normally work for me though sometime I can barely remember them even when I first wake up.
For those who answered “Never…” perhaps they have never dreamed? It’s kind of like asking a person to tell you something that they’ve forgotten.
Or asking someone if they snore.
Ref the song, I’d be nice if the music accompanied the vocal instead of the other way around. It’s the vocal I’d like to hear, not the gitar.
My problem is I keep dreaming I’m awake
(Shhhh!! I keep dreaming I have to go to the bathroom…. Fortunately, I wake myself up for the real deal … SO FAR. 😳)
I have very vivid dreams, but unless I tell someone about them aloud when I first wake up, they usually vanish quickly.
I remember my dreams 95% of the time since I took a class on dream recall 30 years ago. Write them down, use them to learn about yourself and life. I have been teaching Dream Workshops for many years. Dreams amaze me!
Last week I had a strange dream that I was eating a giant marshmallow at a camp fire. When I woke up, my pillow was gone!!!
I wake up not even aware if I had a dream; but I can remember a couple of dreams I had as a kid.
