Question: Why do we forget most of our dreams but remember others so vividly?

Absolutely no idea. I dont think i can even have a food guess at this one! Maybe it is because the ones we remember so vividly are the ones that are really weird and not normal, so they are strange which means we are more likely to remember them because they are different. For example you don’t remember a dream where you opened and closed the fridge if you always dream about opening and c,osing a fridge because thats a normal dream. But if suddenly you have a dream where you are throwing a table at the fridge and the fridge eats the table and poos out a TV thats really not normal and thats weird so you are more likely to remember it. But i have no clue at all!
