My sleep psychologist told me that dreams need to be recorded immediately when you wake up from the dream. Otherwise they quickly fade in your memory. I am just too lazy to do it. I still recall some especially memorable dreams but not as nearly as many as I would like.

Next time I see her, I will ask why dreams fade away from memory so quickly. Maybe she knows.
