      I am not sure! We are not conscious – do we remember our daydreams? I always remember a dream if I am trying to read something in it…… then I become conscious that, in order to read something… I essentially have to write it … in my head, in my dream!

      I’m not really sure! Some scientists think that how quickly you wake up or what happens just after you wake up might influence whether or not you remember your dreams!

      If we can’t remember our dreams, did we even dream them in the first place??
      Hmmm… I know that the dreams we do remember occur towards the end of your sleep, just before you wake up.
