Why Do Some People Remember Dreams and Others Don’t?

Imagine your brain is like a movie theater. Some people have front-row seats with perfect view and sound, so they remember every detail of the film, that’s like remembering dreams. Others are in the back row with a blurry screen, so they forget most of it. It all depends on how well your brain processes information when you wake up.
