Wow, you seem like a very deep thinker. I am too!! I usually always remember my dreams, but now that I am a wee bit older I don't remember them as much. I usually always know when I had my dream but I admit, I sometimes do forget. Cool question!

Yes Bobbi, I do.

Even though it is just experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer. The exception is lucid dreaming, in which a dreamer realizes that they are dreaming, and they are sometimes capable of changing the oneiric reality around him or her and controlling various aspects of the dream, in which the suspension of disbelief is often broken. Dreamers may experience strong emotions while dreaming. Frightening or upsetting dreams are referred to as nightmares. The discipline of dream research is oneirology.

Dreams have a long history both as a subject of conjecture and as a source of inspiration. Throughout their history, people have sought meaning in dreams. They have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the subconscious, and spiritually as messages from God or predictions of the future. Oneiromancy deals with the use of dreams for divination.

Dreams were thought to be part of a spiritual world, and were seen as messages from the gods. Likewise, the Torah (known in Christianity as the first five books of the Old Testament) and the Qur'ān tell the same story of Joseph, who was given the power to interpret dreams and act accordingly. Biblical stories and actions that came from dreams (and visions) form about one-third of the entire Bible (383 References to "Dream" "Vision" and "Seer" / 74 times alone for "Dream" in the King James Bible: Gen 20:3; Gen 31:10; Gen 31:11; Gen 31:21; Gen 37:5 etc). Many cultures practiced dream incubation, with the intention of cultivating dreams that were prophetic or contained messages from the divine.

The belief that dreams were part of a spiritual world continued into the Early Middle Ages. A story from Nevers, which is reproduced in the Golden Legend, states that one night the Emperor Charlemagne dreamed that he was saved from being killed by a wild boar during a hunt by the appearance of a child, who had promised to save the emperor from death if he would give him clothes to cover his nakedness. The bishop of Nevers interpreted this dream to mean that he wanted the emperor to repair the roof of the cathedral dedicated to the boy-saint Saint Cyricus.

I remember all my dreams. I never get out of bed before I review and reflect the symbolism's of them.
