If as soon as I wake up I start talking or writing about my dream I can remeber A LOT. I can talk for three minutes and even write for pages. I know this has to do with waking up during the REM phase, but why can I remember SO much?

I think a lot has to do with your making a conscious effort to remember by talking or writing. That way the details don't slip back into neverneverland. You're lucky you can remember so easily. Many people wish they could but can't. Try keeping a dream journal. You'll find it even easier to remember dreams and you'll recollect even more details. You may also discover some pattern to your dreams or some recurring themes. Another interesting thing you might try is lucid dreaming. That's where you wake up IN the dream and realize you are dreaming while the dream goes on and you continue sleeping. When you gain this ability you can begin to direct the course of your dreams as a movie director directs a film. For more about lucid dreaming see

I remember reading years ago that we can remember our dreams very well IF we wake up in the middle of it. If we don't actually wake up during a dream, then we don't remember it the next morning.
It probably also has something to do with the fact that you get up right way and start writing down details of your dreams. It's possible that if we continue to lie in bed, dozing in and out, we might end up forgetting some of the details.
I've also read that we all dream, every night... it's just a question of whether or not we remember them, but we do dream every night, and usually several times.

I do the same thing and it is truly a gift, I have dreamed many times about deceased loved ones and have had many things come to me that I needed help with in these dreams.

Have there ever been any days whereyou haven't had a dream?
If yes, then you did have one but you didn't rememebr it, in whcih case you don't remember themvividly. I remmeber some of mine and forget some. I don't think it is possible for someone to rmemeber EVERY dream they had.

I think its definately a skill. I tried recording one dream I had, but after about ten minutes I had forgotten most of the finer points.
