Why do we forget some dreams after waking up?
You wake up and there was definitely a dream — something about flying? Or was it a talking cat? You reach for it and… it's gone. Where do dreams go when they slip away?
While you sleep, your brain is busy. It shuffles through the day's memories, sorts feelings, and spins wild stories. Dreams happen mostly during REM sleep — when your eyes dart around under closed lids and your brain fires almost as actively as when you're awake.
