Why do dreams fade from memory so quickly?

Asked by Trustinglife (6668points) July 20th, 2009

It’s such a curious phenomenon to me that dreams fade so quickly. I find that unless I write my dream down, I can barely remember it all after waking up and getting out of bed.

However, if I DO write the dream down, I find when I re-read what I wrote, I can remember things from the dream – even beyond what I had written.

Is this the case for you? Do you know of any reasons why this is?
