Have you ever woken up and thought to your self: WHAT A CRAZY DREAM and then 2 minutes later could not remember it! Then this topic is for you
Did you know question
Even though you don't remember your dreams, you dream a lot at night.
3/4 of those dreams are in black and white in comparison to 1/4 in colour.
Most people don't even know that they dream in black and white. This is simply because those dreams are ordinary. The ones you usually remember are those that were extra-ordinary.
Well if I dream everynight and have some extra-ordinary dreams everynight, why can't I remember them question
It depends on the sleeping level you have reached. In fact, your sleeping is divided in many stages (which I can't remember, PM me if you do so that I can add them) and the one where you dream is called MOR (mouvements oculaires rapides -in french ).
If you are awoken during this stage, thus interrupting a dream or right after finishing your dream, you are more likely to remember it than if you are awaken a while after... when your mind had the time to wander off into other farout stages.
credibility: why are you to believe me on this subject: I have taken a couple of psychology courses and biology courses who have spoken on the subject. It interested me therefore I wrote about it

what you are calling MOR is usually referred to as REM (Rapid eye Movement) in english. wikipedia Stages of sleep * Non-REM accounts for 75–80% of total sleep time: o Stage 1, with near-disappearance of the alpha waves seen in awake states, and appearance for the first time of theta waves. The stage is sometimes referred to as somnolence, or "drowsy sleep". It appears at sleep onset (as it is mostly a transition state into Stage 2) and is associated with the sudden twitches or hypnic jerks many people experience when falling asleep. While these are normal and of no concern, the hypnagogic hallucinations which some people may experience at this stage can be more troublesome. During this period, the subject loses some muscle tone, and conscious awareness of the external environment: Stage 1 can be thought of as a gateway state between wake and sleep. o Stage 2, with "sleep spindles" (12–16 Hz) and "K-complexes." The EMG lowers, and conscious awareness of the external environment disappears. This occupies 45–55% of total sleep. o Stage 3, with delta waves, also called delta rhythms (.5–4 Hz), is considered part of slow-wave sleep (SWS) and functions primarily as a transition into stage four. Overall it occupies 3–8% of total sleep time. o Stage 4 is true delta sleep. It predominates the first third of the night and accounts for 10–15% of total sleep time. This is often described as the deepest stage of sleep; it is exceedingly difficult to wake a subject in this state. This is the stage in which night terrors, bed wetting, and sleepwalking occur. Stage 4 Sleep. EEG highlighted by red box. Enlarge Stage 4 Sleep. EEG highlighted by red box. REM Sleep. EEG highlighted by red box. Eye movements highlighted by red line. Enlarge REM Sleep. EEG highlighted by red box. Eye movements highlighted by red line. * REM sleep is popularly associated with dreaming, especially bizarre, visual, and seemingly random dreams; however, dreams can also occur during sleep onset (hypnogogia) and during all stages of Non-REM sleep. REM sleep is predominant in the final third of a sleep period; its timing is linked to circadian rhythm and body temperature. The EEG in this period is aroused and looks similar to stage 1, and sometimes includes beta waves. Also known as Stage 5 sleep. Sleep proceeds in cycles of NREM and REM phases. In humans, the cycle of REM and NREM is approximately 90 minutes. Each stage may have a distinct physiological function. Drugs such as alcohol and sleeping pills can suppress certain stages of sleep (see Sleep deprivation). This can result in a sleep that exhibits loss of consciousness but does not fulfill its physiological functions. Each sleep stage is not necessarily uniform. Within a given stage, a cyclical alternating pattern may be observed. Both REM sleep and NREM sleep stages 3 and 4 are homeostatically driven; that is, selective deprivation of each of these states subsequently causes a rebound in their appearance once the person is allowed to sleep. This finding leads to the ubiquitous assumption that both are essential in the sleep process and its many functions. REM sleep may also be driven by a circadian oscillator, as studies have shown that REM is temporally coupled with the circadian rhythm of temperature. of course, there are those unfortunates like myself who also get an extra, 6th type of sleep called "sleep paralysis" which is inbetween waking and sleeping (the body remains in its paralysed state while the brain is awake, can be quite terrifying if you don't know what it is), where particularly vivid dreams can occur. it takes quite a while to tell the difference between the two (normal REM dreams vs. SP dreams). of course that only occurs if you have the disorder razz i always remeber my dreams upon waking, but i usually forget them within a half hour or so, unless it was a particularly good or particularly bad one, those i remember for much longer razz one of my earliest memories is a nightmare from when i was about 8 months old.

I get lucid dreams most of the time where I can feel and hear things in the dream when normally you wouldn't be able to do that. I can also fly in my dreams. Sometimes my dreams arn't dreams at all but rather visions of the future. o.O I get a dream and then it happens later on in the day or in the week. Then other dreams it is not a dream but I can astral travel, how I know this is by the way things are set up in the envornment I am around. Sometimes if I know a person was up to something but wasn't entirly sure I get a dream about it that tells me everything then later on the truth of that dream comes into light within "reality."I visit planets, strange people, different creatures, and even different realms of excistance.
In truth dreams help us in our lives to sort out problems, its just many refuse this and claim it as fantasy when it is really connected with reality. They say it isn't reality because we cannot do those things here as we could there, but that doesn't mean it is not reality, it just simply means there are certain rules for different realms and when we enter the dream realm we are not bound by the rules of the realm we live in. I suppose many would disagree but I guess thats just their opinion.

Is it true that the average person has about 7 dreams a night but can only remember one at the most?

The majority of my dreams I either partially remember or I never remember them.
I had my first memorable dream after about a year of not remembering my dreams at all just a month ago.
I tend to have horrible dreams whenever I happen to remember them, and I really hate that because it scares the living hell out of me.

Yeah this topic can be brought into dream lucidity
as it's called Lucid Dreaming, one trains the mind to actually recognize and remember dreams better until you can actually realize you're dreaming while it happens and then knowingly change the course of ths dream. Or simply use the oppritunity to enjoy yurself, enact hypothetic situations.
There are a few books written on the subject of lucid dreaming. It's veyr interesting stuff.
I remember some rather interesting ones...

Honestly, the only dreams I ever remember are the ones I'm dreaming and I wake up during them -- and they're always in color. One black and white one I can remember actually had some red in it, like in Sin City. But that's the only one I remember, and I don't know if that can be considered a black and white dream. Quote: I was in bed (but i had just got in ) i was still awake... when i turned my head, I saw myself....as if my spirit had been seperated from my body... please help me explain this it freaked the s**t out of me You looked in the mirror. surprised Or maybe your soul decided to take a trip.

From childhood to young adulthood, or whatever you want to call age 17, my dreams have gotten progressively less frightening, but often (not always, and with decreasing frequency) involve me beating the living daylights out of something physically or verbally, or at least trying to. I usually enjoy them, 'cuz you can't beat people up in real life, or you'll get nasty things like lawsuits and restraining orders. *ewww* whee
Anyway, I seem to remember being able to recall three dreams from a single night, once (only once). And the SP thing used to happen to me when I was really little; thinking back on them, it would be nice to experience one again; or maybe it was something I interpret now as SP. *shrugs* who knows?
Dreams are fun! I've only had the flying one once, though, and I wasn't myself. Or, at least, dreams are fun until you hit Freud (is that the right guy? I don't think it is...) who said that you were every person in your dream, which means I was beating the snot out of myself while I looked in both apathy and moderate disturb..ed..ness..thing.

Sometimes it is by will, other times it just happens. It is a natural ability that everyone has.In that particular state of our being we can go anywhere, to other planets, to other realities, to others dreams. eek The possiblities in that form are only limited by ones will and belief of where they can or cannot go. However in that state you are also vunerable to psychic attack by negative beings that excist within our realm and other realms you may visit. Not all the beings you encounter in a astral travel will be negative, some are positive, but the negative ones are exteamly dangerous! If you encounter such a being always will your self back to your body and re enter it as to they cannot harm you there.
