Why some people remember their dreams more than others
A curious attitude, mind wandering, age, and the changing of the seasons are some of the factors that influence the ability to recall and engage with the dream world, according to a new study
The study of dreams is often an imprecise and unpredictable field. What lies within the realm of dreams is deeply personal and difficult to verify scientifically. Compounding this is the fact that dream memory is fragmented, incomplete, and often shaped by emotions, recent experiences, health, and even stress levels. The question of where consciousness travels during sleep and what happens to it remains, for now, a mystery. However, one aspect can be examined through the lens of the scientific method: why some people are able to remember their dreams more than others.
