Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, and then suddenly it disappears, that's like a dream. When we sleep, our brains are busy creating stories, but when we wake up, the part of our brain that stores memories gets distracted by the real world. That’s why dreams feel so clear while we’re sleeping, but they fade quickly once we open our eyes.
Examples
- You dream about flying, but when you wake up, all you remember is the feeling of falling.
- You’re at a party with your old friends in your dream, but by morning, they’ve turned into strangers.
