I went to a sleep clinic, and they told me I dreamt almost the whole time. But I never remember my dreams. Very rarely. So I think everyone dreams, but we just dont remember them. And when we do try to remember them, they get pushed further and further away, I notice haha
CJSingsBlues: I remember many of my dreams. Almost every morning, I can recall at least one dream I had the night before. I wonder what that means.
I used to have a dream book and I would look up certain things to see what they meant. Dont know if it was true or not. You should get one, they're fun

Not a bad idea. I think I will get one tomorrow.
Well, this is all very interesting, actually. Since I saw the Forum, I actually looked some things up online and have found some really cool stuff about it all. Here is one place I am reading right now.
I have very lucid dreams, I remember them like mini movies Hard to believe the brain can process so much information in fractions of a second. I used to always dream of flying, but I seem only to bounce now. Strange I wonder if this has to do with the Burdens of Adult Responsibility ?

Wow! I used to have a recurring dream where I was driving and drove off of the side of a mountain road. Later, I found out my brother had the same recurring dream. Now, that one I ought to look up. I wonder what your flying dream would mean.

tomcatwarne: Maybe this is a dream, maybe everything is a dream. Who knows.
You're reading this right now, and it might seem very real to you. You might truly believe that you really are reading this. Why do you believe that though? The answer must, at least in part, lie with the fact that you are unconsciously basing that assumption on the fact that various electrical process in your brain are telling you that this brief moment in your daily life is "real".
But a "dream" is again, nothing more than electrical processes in the brain. Usually, we awaken from a dream, and might dismiss it as something that never happened in "reality".
But if you believe that your decision to click on this thread just a minute ago was "reality", do you have anything other than electrical processes in your brain to base that assumption upon?
It seems to me, that if every recollection of our lives is but the result of electrical processes in the brain, then there ought to be no real difference, nor no bias in terms of "importance", between so-called "reality" and a "dream".

This might be true if you were only the electrical impulses in your brain but what you are describing is simply the physical attributes of the brain. If you think that you are only the brain (ie ego) in your body then what is your soul? What constitutes your consciousness? Where does it reside? Maybe you are getting lost in the small stuff. And you know what they say "don't sweat the small stuff". Dreams are actually real events that are happening to you as soul. Why you don't remember most if not all of them is because there is a device at work called the "dream sensor" and it's job is to obscure your memory of the dream upon awakening. This sensor can be circumvented with practise so that you are able to remember your dreams. Keeping a dream journal as has been already suggested is a terrific way to shut it down as over time you will be able to recollect your dream vividly and also have the journal as a reference to look back upon. jmho
Yeah we all dream when we reach rem sleep.its just our way of processing stuff that happens which is why it often doesnt make sense,although they do say if it is a reoccurring dream then it is significant..I used to remember all my dreams but now i just dont unless its been important.
