Dreams occur when we sleep. But the dreams that haunt you all night are not remembered in the morning. No matter how hard you try, some dreams just won't come to mind.

During sleep, a brain chemical called norepinephrine is released, which helps control memory. This makes it difficult to remember dreams. This is another reason why dreams at night are forgotten in the morning.

Poor sleep quality, sleep deprivation or fragmented sleep disrupts normal sleep cycles and reduces dream memories. Some dreams are remembered when you sleep on time without any stress.

Dream recall declines with age. Younger people tend to remember more dreams than older adults. If we don't prioritize dream recall or make it a habit to record our dreams, dreams won't be remembered.
