Why do we vividly remember our dreams ~5 minutes after waking up then promptly forget every detail? (lemmy.world)

It’s weird how I’ll see a dream and really ponder over it right after waking only for it to be completely out of my memory shortly after.

I don't know about you, but I can recall and recount perfectly a dream I had almost 15 years ago about a battle in a warzone.

Weirdly enough, two years later I was caught in an irl war. I still think that's interesting, even though it is most likely coincidence.

I had a dream last night that my bed was filled with centipedes - coincidence?
