It has been a random, haphazard and rare event where dreams just come to me in memory. It just happened today, and mysubsequent search into the phenomenon is what brought me to your webpage...I will also check with Google scholar for any scientific articles. It would be great to see some posted here, or at least source pages to them.

"Remembering dreams" seems to be quite a different psychological dynamic than actual dreaming, and I am wondering what the scientific/psychologial reasons behind it are. It would be quite interesting if scientists gathered a group of people who "remember their dreams" and conduct medical/scientific testing on any functional variances between brain waves and synapses firing, as well as any EEG brain wave differentials.

It would be great if you could research and post this from universities and other resources who might have results about this phenomenon, especially since there are so many respondents here.
