Night of Dreams

This is in response to Karla's question: "Would you prefer a night without dreams, or with dreams? Why?"

First of all, there is no such thing as a night without dreaming. Everyone dreams. You may not remember all your dreams or any of them but they do happen. I practically never remember any of my dreams and it is kind of upsetting when you dont because you would like to know what you dreamt about and maybe what it could mean. So to change your question around a little according to my answer, I would prefer a night when i remember at least one of my dreams (seeing as we have more than one every night). Dreams are just really interesting because they are mysterious images and stories and scenerios that show up in your head when you're unconscious. We try to figure out why they are there and what they mean but i dont know if that'll ever really happen. They could mean anything or nothing at all but they are still fun to have and to wonder about. Sometimes people even discuss their dreams with their friends either because they want to talk about what the dream might have meant, or just because it was really ridiculus. Dreams are a way for people to connect with each other and possibly to motivate us into doing something we wouldn't normally do.


Why is it so hard for some people and so easy for others to remember dreams? Does practice really make it any easier or is it just a predetermined thing?
