Sometimes I'll remember them right when I get up but then I'll go to take a pissy and they'll immediately fade into the ether. yes it's been a while since high school psychology but as I recall a lot of information from your senses enters a part of your brain that's sort of just constantly draining like a colander. if any of it is important, you store it in your short-term memory, if not, pfft, gone. then if short term memories are important, like you keep having to retrieve them, they become long-term memories. except "flash bulb memories" which are so immediately and obviously important they jump the line and become long-term memories and there's nothing you can do about it your dreams aren't real, so you don't generally remember them unless you specifically make it a point to, which is why dream journals work. you're putting them into memory before they drain out of the colander I have a completely unfalsifiable hypothesis that dreams are your brain running test scenarios with random variables grabbed from your life so you can respond faster to unexpected events, which would help us survive in an unpredictable universe
