Why do we forget most or sometimes all of what we dreamed about shortly after we wake up?
In: Biology
When you dream, your unconscious mind is alive and hosts your feelings, activities, and desires. It’s a jungle in there, but with unlimited creativity and opportunity. When you awake, your mind is flooded with new sensory input from your environment, and the unconscious part goes quietly back to sleep. It’s luck for us; we’d be in a pickle if we couldn’t tell our dreams from our waking life.
