From what I recall, everybody dreams an approximately equal amount of time every night, the only major difference is how much of it is forgotten when you wake up.
I wish I recalled (..or saved) the paper, but waking up releases a chemical in the brain that makes you actively and quickly forget what you just dreamed about.
- awb 5y agoThat’s interesting. I’ve noticed that if I forget a dream and then meditate later in the day it often comes back or at least bits and pieces do some 5-15 minutes into the meditation.
- tgv 5y agoWithout very, very strong evidence, that's BS, or more politely put: a retroactive fit of the concept to the operationalization, in this case probably the REM observation which vaguely correlates with dreaming.
