Experts say that our dreams are in contact with our subconscious.
There are people who don't remember what they dreamed at all, and even think they don't have dreams.
Psychiatrist and psychotherapist Vladeta Jerotic once explained what the reason for this might be.
“People who forget their dreams don’t want to know themselves. In fact, this means that they don’t want to meet their negative SELF. It’s not good when people say they don’t remember their dreams, and there are those who say they don’t dream at all. There are no people who don’t dream, science has proven this. A person dreams every night and doesn’t have to remember every dream, and morning dreams are usually remembered. It’s not good for a month or two or three to go by and you don’t remember any of your dreams. It would be like avoiding recognizing some negative part of yourself,” he said.
Deirdre Barrett, a professor of psychology at Harvard and author of a book on quality sleep and dreaming, emphasizes that dreams occur after we enter the REM stage of sleep.
"People who are inclined to an analytical view of the world and thinking - more often remember their dreams, unlike those who are focused on some goal. If you wake up at the end of the REM stage, when the body prepares for the second stage of sleep, you will remember your dreams the most," she says.
