They say that we dream everytime we sleep at night. Sleep occurs in stages that cycle throughout the night. The type of brainwaves (based on frequencies and amplititudes)determines the stage of sleep. Lucid dreaming occurs in the fifth stage which is called REM or rapid eye movement. Athough dreamming occurs at the other stages of sleep, it is during REM where most vivid dreaming occurs. REM last for about 90 to 100 minutes per cycle. Scientist say that if we are awaken during the REM stage, most likely we could recall our dreams even if we can't remember it already in the morning.
Can you recall what you dream of last night. Oftentimes, I can't. I love to have a dream journal just to keep track of what's going on in my sub-conscious when I'm in dreamland.

Hi moirax23. Like you, I also have difficulty recalling my dreams. A friend suggested that I should keep a dream journal. Have a paper and a pen ready at your bedside. Anytime you are awaken during the night and you still rememer what you have just dreamed of, write it down. Every tiny deatils that you could remember. If you will recall fragments of your dream during the day, add it to your notes.
Our dreams will show us what we are thinking about or are concerned with in our lives, often at the subconscious level. Dreams can reflect tensions that are inside us. Recalling and analyzing dreams will help us to ease some of the stress in our lives.
