    There is a scientific reason for this. Prepare for minor text wall.

    When you fall asleep, your brain erases temporary memory and “closes” permanent memory so that nothing can be stored to it during sleep. This is also the reason you can’t remember what you did a few minutes before falling asleep. Therefore, your dreams are stored in temp memory and you can only remember them for a little bit after waking.

    Don’t quote me on this, I found it somewhere, and my somewheres tend to be pretty reliable, but I’m too lazy to fact-check. Feel free to downvote if wrong.

    I hate it when the dream is so good and lucid, but you wake up and only remember how nice the dream was rather than what you experienced.

    I actually remember a good amount of my dreams, and i try to write them all down as soon as i wake up in as much detail as i can. One interesting thing that happened because i made this a habit is that i was dreaming one time, and then i woke up and went to write down said dream on my computer then i saw that my keyboard was set to another language so i was typing nonsense, which made me realize this was another dream which contained the first one, which made me wake up for real, or at least i hope for real. For all i know this could also be a dream…

    I hate that this basically is the first step of learning to make your dreams lucid. “Write down your dreams to find patterns” - Okay sounds easy enough but every morning I’m like oop I forgor
