Why do some people dream more than others?

Question

I don't mean daydreaming, I mean dreaming at night.

For instance, my mom dreams only once or twice a year but I get dreams every night or every other night. I started making a "dream log" and i've dreamt the 9th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 16th.

I was just wondering how some people have so many dreams whereas some people dont?

Answer 1

The mind goes through a period of "sorting" out the messages it gets...... and to do that, it must dream.

It begins by sorting through the symbology and storing experience where it belongs....

For example: a person who has a bad self image, may dream of a house that is delapidated.... but, this symbol, being in its perspective form, shows that the dreamer has an "outer" image problem....

If the image were something they were feeling or something that they have thought on, it would be "inside" of the structure. and then sorted by the means which are most important. "rooms"........

Now, people claim to not be able to dream because all those experiences are too much for the mind to handle, for one who has alot of things to do in a day..... with odds being far less for those who have little sleep......... That just means there are a whole lot of thoughts to process that no single ideal is subject to memory of the images that may have been seen.

For example: imagine having to keep up with a professional speed reader........ So too is the spirit of the mind trying to keep up with one who is so busy doing their daily task, that it is hard to recall the symbols seen in dreams.
