WHY DO WE FORGET MOST OF THE DREAMS WE SEE?

A dream is the unconscious minds way of sifting and erasing all unwanted material collected during the day. It is dimply a jumble of unconnected images thrown up randomly in the brain as we sleep. The average seven to eight hours that we spend on bed is not actually a big interval of sleep, but a patch work of cycles of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). We sleep in the NREM phase. This process continues all night and we quickly forget the dream with each passing phase. However it is only the dream seen in the last REM phase before walking up that we remember. This is just a part of whole dream seen during the night and since we cannot correlate it with the other parts. We get confused and can’t remember that we had dream.
