… “Why I don’t remember my dream?”… Part 1

Dreams are mysterious. Some of us will remember dreams very clearly on what’s the dream is all about and who’s involve. Some others might remember dreams occasionally and; the rest portion of us might question why we hardly remember dreams at all even it was last night. As you may know, the ability to remember dreams is different from an individual to another.

First of all, you might want to know why we “dream”. Many of our “oldies” psychologists can’t even fact it out. Out of several psychologists, there is one named Freud, believed that dream represent a follow up on previous activities. They have been inside of every one of us since we’re a child. From his studies, hidden desire drives us to dream. Jung, another psychologist interpreted dream as means. His studies carried out dreams as symbols to life. Throughout all different parts about “dreams”, I had considered to pull out more Jung’s theory as I found that it is more meaningful and I will also added up some others thoughts from my fieldworks.

… “Why I don’t remember my dream?”… some of us might concern about this and was wondering whether our memory or RAM is getting minimize each day when we become more mature. As facts, dreams are remembered only if you wake up during, or just at the end of, a dream. But, if you just turn over and fall asleep again, you’re more likely not to remember any thing in the next morning. The most important reason why some people don’t remember their dreams is because they don’t really care and stressed. If we’re stresses for any reason, we may find that our dreams will slipped out easily the moment we’re conscious. As we’ve been trained to have millions things to remember on our mind once we’ve get out from bed, there are no single excuse for us to lingering in our dreamland anymore. Therefore, we might take it easy and even thought that we might not dream during the period we’re sleeping. Alcohol consumption and taking drugs on the other point will also inhabit dream recall or change the nature of the dreams. Alcohol and drugs will affect the cycle of a normal night sleep. Humans usually experience 4-5 cycles of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep yet they are short at the beginning of the night and longer towards the end. I will not interpret more about REM here in the first part as there might be a lot to say.

Kindly stay on for the next part of dream where we will talk about the symbols of anything pops-up in our dream.
