is it true? that we have dreams ever night?

Question

I always forget my dreams

Answer 1

Yep, we dream every single night of our lives, your dreams are things that are or have happened in your life and your brain spits them all out and reviews everything in its own way while you sleep which is why people have some really weird dreams that seem to be about nothing at all, but had certain people or places they know in them. Or why some people think they experience premonitions in their dreams. If you can't remember them it may be because your having so many of them through the night that none of them are sticking in your memory, dreams usually only last a minute or two, maybe even for just a few seconds. The ones we remember are usually just the ones that we have right before we wake up.

Also a little FYI that I recently read about; when people experience Deja-Vu, it's usually only your brain sort of skipping a beat for a few seconds but you are still doing things and taking things in, just not really registering them, and then when your brain clicks in again after those few seconds, the things you just saw or did seem like Deja-Vu, cause your brain wasn't fully registering everything going on around you as current. Don't know if that's totally true, just something I read once that sounded interesting.

Answer 2

you're brain manifests dreams during deep sleep when REM occurs. you may or may not remember your dreams and it may just be images, smells, sounds, or emotions that come and go suddenly and don't have time to register a memory... so no you don't dream every night and it's perfectly fine that you don't remember them if you do have them because they may have been insignifigant... if it bothers you eat a good meal and a nice soothing bath then jump in bed for a good 10-11 hours and when you are falling asleep reflect on your good points of your day then think of a special thing, person, or place when you have your barely conscious.... (dont stare at the ceiling concentrating relaxation is the key) then slip into sleep and more than likely with your increased thought activity you will trigger some dream/thought activity while you sleep

Answer 3

There are two stages of sleep that dreams occur. One is called REM sleep. This is the dreaming stage. The other one is called... something and if you have nightmares (dreams... but really bad ones, some might call them night terrors). There are drugs that can keep a person from achieving REM sleep. One of those drugs is alcohol. However, if a person does do the alcohol and fails to achieve REM sleep one night, they may have REM rebound which means you slip into the REM much sooner. Do you always dream... not necessarily. If you sleep the normal time for your body and age, yes.

Answer 4

Yes, we are always dreaming while we sleep, at least during the REM cycle of our night. During Non-REM you are resting, but it is possible in this time to have nightmares. There is a lot more than sleeping than meets the eye ;) If you can't remember your dreams try writing them down immediately upon recalling them, then you can look back, and eventually, interpret them.

Answer 5

Recalling dreams

According to Craig Hamilton-Parker, [4] author of Fantasy Dreaming, many humans find certain dreams extremely difficult to recall. According to David Koulack in "To Catch A Dream" researchers refer to these types of dreams as "no content dream reports." It is thought that such dreams are characterized by relatively little affect. According to Koulack, factors such as salience, arousal and interference play a role in dream recall and dream recall failure. According to Henry Reed, author of Dream Medicine, a useful technique to improve dream recall is to keep a dream journal. Stephen LaBerge, author of Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, also suggest that you must lie perfectly still as soon as you have awaken from a dream and do not let concerns of the day occupy your mind. It is quite common to not remember much of what you have just dreamt but if you concentrate you may soon enough be able to put bits and pieces together to retrieve the entire dream

Answer 6

Yes. You only remember the dreams that occur during REM, when you are in a deep sleep. This is also the time in which your dreams are the longest.

Answer 7

Scientists say yes. I say NO! Others can't agree, but in my argument, I believe that you can't know if a person is dreaming based on their eyes moving or brain activity because as long as they are alive they are going to have both eye movement and brain activity No one knows what is going on in your brain as far as dreams because you are inbetween conciousness (thats why people don't even remember what they dream about sometimes.)

Answer 8

We do dream every night, it's called the REM period. Most people do not remember their dreams. Some only remember for a second or two. Keep a notepad next to your bed, just in case you remember.

Answer 9

Yes! It is true. We have many dreams when we sleep but we only usually remember the last ones.

Answer 10

Yes but most dreams are too short to remember
