We all dream every night, about one dream period every 90 minutes. People who say they never dream simply never remember their dreams. You may have more than one dream during a REM (dream) period, separated by short arousals that are most often forgotten. It is generally accepted among sleep researchers that dreams are not recalled unless the sleeper awakens directly from the dream, rather than after going on to other stages of sleep. hen you awaken in the night and recall what you were dreaming, record the dream right away. If you don’t, in the morning you may find you remember nothing about the dream, and you will certainly have forgotten many interesting details.

One of my university lecturers had a theory that the reason for dreaming was to prepare you for the unexpected. He thought that the experience of finding yourself in weird situations in your dreams would make you better equipped to cope with something out of the ordinary happening in real life. Not sure if it’s true, but it’s an interesting theory…
