Some mornings, you wake up and the dream is right there. Clear and vivid. You might still feel the emotion in your chest, and it can take a few minutes to remember where you are and what was real.
Other mornings, you open your eyes and there is nothing. Just a quiet sense of having slept.
You might know people who think they do not dream. However, the reality is we all do. Sometimes we have many in one night.
What varies is whether people remember their dreams and how often they remember them.
