"your subconscious self is still having lively adventures" that's one way to describe my horrible nightmares.

“You may not remember your dreams...” *But they remember you*

"When you wake up, keep your eyes closed". "When you slowly enter wake mode..." Yeah, tell that to my alarm clock.

Hank: * mentions norepinephrine * Me: Oh yeah, I have ADHD and I remember reading about how my brain doesn't produce a lot of that Hank: Norepinephrine helps you remember things Me: Ah. Yeah that tracks

Oh so remembering a dream is a sign of not sleeping well? That explains a lot to me :p

I seem to remember my nightmares just fine....

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." T.E. Lawrence

When I was around 7 years old I remember having a dream. I was a giant monster with about 8 arms and about 50 meters away there was a massive wooden totem pole like monster. We were inside a hollow square based pyramid like in Egypt. The big monster started to run towards me so I started shooting it with some liquid coming from all my arms. It wasn't working so I tried even harder at full force. I then suddenly woke up. Then I realised I was also peeing in real life. I still remember that after all those years. This took me the whole 5 minute video to type this XD

I started this SNRI for depression that helps with serotonin and norepinephrine. Now I know why my dreams have gotten more intense lol

Sometimes I remember a dream maybe after one day or so And sometimes I get confused if what I remember is a dream or just my imagination or if it really happened

I've gone through periods in my life when I use an image from a partially-remembered dream as inspiration for art or writing. And when I get into that habit, I'm more likely to remember my dreams in more detail -- probably because the experience gets sorted into the "might be useful later--do not lose!" file.

I feel like my night is wasted when I can't remember my dreams

Yeah, but why even if we initially remember our dreams we forget them very quickly?

Some time ago I had this very vivid dream and just felt this urge to write it down, which was the first time I started to do so. Now, if I’ve had a vivid and interesting dream, I will write as much of it down as I can remember. Some aren’t as detailed as others, but I’ve had some incredibly detailed dreams that seem like epic movies I was watching rather than dreaming. Also, if I go back and read an old dream, I will still be be to picture that dream, even after months afterwards.

“Drink a lot of water before going to bed” great!! Now I’m dreaming about trying to find a working toilet!!!!!

First, big fan of the lobster shirt. I've been having pretty wild dreams lately... at least that's the impression I get... the details fade almost immediately after I wake up and all I'm left with is "that was really fascinating."

WOOOOOO! With every new video I love SciShow &co so much more! Thanks for teaching me things I didn't know I wanted to know

Im really good at remembering them, sometimes i even go back to the dream after waking up, it makes me happy, but hank here is saying its because i apparently suck at sleeping :(

Having trouble remembering your dreams? Try sleeping on a memory foam mattress.

The norepinephrine thing definitely explains why the dreams I always remember best are strongly emotional, but not always visually vivid.

The moment I wake up I still remember my dreams vividly, however, it rapidly blurrs out and I forget pretty much all of it.

I have been having waking flashbacks of dreams I had up to 30 years ago. Like being shown a photograph then having it quickly snatched away. Amazing that those visions have been sat dorment for so long, then something activates them. Good vid, cheers.

I don't often remember my dreams, although I try to write them down every time I do. However, the dreams I have managed to remember and have written down, I can still remember having dreamt them when I read them back, even after years!

im having dreams where i dream of something then i 'wake up' and do something else and THEN really wake up. dreams within dreams inception oh god

I have pregnancy insomnia and wake up multiple times, so I lie back asleep and remember all my weird dreams... also my husband talks in his sleep which mixes with my dreams and makes them confusing lol

I love how you cover all the topics I find interesting

@Hank, I love the subject of dreams. Keep up the great work(John too).

It differs a lot for me. I can remember some dreams from years ago, but I often can't remember having dreamed anything.

Best Audible segue I've ever experienced

Thanks a lot, Hank! Tell me now that I'm a bad sleeper! 😭 .. seriously though, I would go crazy if I couldn't remember my dreams. I love them!

I often have very vivid lucid dreams. My top advice is have a dream diary.I only write some memorable ones from time to time, and doing so increased my ability to remember and notice dreams greatly.

I wonder how emotions play into this, and if it's different for nightmares. One of the worst dreams I ever had wasn't that vivid, nor was it on a night I can particularly recall as being a bad night's sleep, yet I can remember what happened to this day when it occurred nearly 8 years ago. Similarly, I recall a dream where I saw the back of someone's head and the love I felt for that individual is still within me, yet I have no idea who they were (or who/what they represented) - and, again, that was many years ago. Dreams really are fascinating.

I've always been good at remembering my dreams and have also continued dreams across the span of several nights. There have also been a couple very specific dreams that I re-dream once every 2-3 years. My dreams can become so vivid that I can still get an emotional rush thinking about them several days afterwards.

3:54 If I close my eyes I’m going to fall back to sleep 😂

Now I know why I seem to remember do many dreams and often go on dream streaks.

Ah, so waking up abruptly means you have a more difficult time forming memories? No wonder I can’t remember a thing! *glares at the school system*

Classy plug at the end. I have audible, so maybe I'm biased. But Hank really seemed to like the book.

I dont do it anymore, but I used to keep a dream journal and try really hard to remember my dreams. The more I did that, the better I got at remembering and the more I could remember. I got to a point where I remembered two to four dreams a night, and some of them were lucid. I can’t say anything for sure of course since it’s just my personal experience, but I think practice helps if you want to remember your dreams or even become a regularly lucid dreamer.

Just simply thank you one more time for giving me an answer to one of many whys i have about my crazy wee machine which is me.

An emotional experience helping to make a dream more real or vivid. That explains something. My most vivid dream happened in regards to my father. He had died suddenly one night and I lived a few hundred miles away. We were not the closest of families, in that we talked every few months and I visited maybe twice a year. He had hugged me maybe a handful of times and only twice I can remember. Once before I left for college and oddly, the last time I actually did see him. We were not as connected as other families seem to be. When he died, I was not incredibly emotional, there were a couple of moments, but i was pretty numb. Even into the next month when my grandmother (his mother) died. Three months after he died, I was dreaming that I was cleaning the garage of the home I grew up in. When I saw my dad, I stopped what I was doing. I realized I was dreaming. We hugged. I told him I missed him and loved him. He told me he was proud of me and loved me. I woke up crying. Hard. I don't hold stock in dreams. I don't mind hearing about them from time to time, but when people are held captive by their dreams or place a lot of stock in them (or their prophetic psychic abilities) I tend to lose respect for them. I've lived around people who ascribe a lot of meaning to dreams...so, yeah. Nuts. However, that dream brought me some sense of closure and catharsis. I hold mostly that it was a dream, it was my brain, not my dad...but, some part of me, just hopes a little, that it could have been. But, highly emotional and it is quite a vivid memory for me.

i always wondered about this! a lot of times i could TELL i had a super vivid dream but it just evaporates the moment i wake up. most nights i don't since i do sleep pretty well these days. during what i guess i call "second sleep" (when i wake up too early to get out of bed but not early enough to get too much more sleep) my dreams are always way more vivid. on the other side of the coin, my husband has periodic extremely long, very vivid dreams, especially during the days he has crashed out for most of the day. he has sleep apnea, and even though he is dead to the world on some nights (well, days. he's night shift) he's obviously not sleeping well even if he's sleeping longer, and those are times when he's forgotten to put on his mask.

I kinda suspected this because I will most probably remember dreams from naps, or when I am really stressed and unable to sleep well...it's nice to get info and affirmation on small hypotheses you have in your daily life

Even though I don't remember all of my dreams there are some I had at various points in my life that I remember fondly. Especially the ones where I'm being chased by a malevolent entity. That's always an adventure.

Nothing speaks to me more than when hank spoke directly to me, only me, just now when he said “you probably just don’t sleep very soundly”. I don’t. I also don’t remember my dreams often but when I do they’re vivid.

You just reminded me that I had a nightmare last night. Somebody was shining a light in my eyes and taking my picture, but I couldn’t tell who it was.

I'm only very rarely a player in my dreams. Usually I'm more of an _3-person observer,_ but sometimes I'm playing a different character, a unique individual with their own distinct personality & even memories - it's pretty damn weird whenever I wake up & recall one of _those_ dreams. Most of the time it's like I'm watching an extremely vivid & colourful, incredibly detailed, long narrative, though much more emotionally *_"real",_* intense & involving than a movie, or novel. The most incredible dream I ever had lasted for about *22 minutes* (+) ( _in the real world_ ), but duration of the narrative was over *2½ YEARS.* Waking up from that one was freaky: it honestly took me several hours to accept that it was only a dream & not some sort of weird _parallel universe/out-of-body experience_ thing - it felt just that *_"real"_* to me. I had to go & hug my mum. It felt wonderful to see her again. ( _especially as, in the dream, she was presumed dead in a meteor impact_ ) (+) I was able to work it out from memories of waking up earlier that morning ( _though not opening my eyes_ ), then going back to sleep & experiencing a dream so _surreal & amazing_ that I can still recall it after *20* freakin' years...

I can. I’m even able to remember dreams that I had literally years ago.

I usually remember that I had dreams, sometimes I remember what happened. If I dream in 3rd person RPG mode, I can usually control what happens. If I dream in 1st person shooter mode, I'm just along for the ride and can't change what's happening.

I have remembered every dream I've had so far back I remember. I am just a little blank on yesterday and the days before.

I have a handfull of dreams i remember, and one in particular that just *stuck* in my head for weeks. But mostly I forget them quickly

A few years ago, my doctor increased the dosage of one of my meds. I went from sparsely populated to crowds of people in my dreams. I also started remembering *all* of them. A couple years later, the dreams haven't changed but I rarely remember any of them now. I have been soooo tempted to increase that med again....

I still remember the dream i had back when i was like 7 (?) I think. It was really an amazing dream. Sad thing is, when that dream just about to hit its climax my mom woke me up. I think that's why i still remember some of it. I always tried to think about it so i would "continue the story".

I always thought remembering my dreams depended on how close they are to the point where I wake up. It hasn’t happened lately but my most vivid dreams that I remember occurred when some outside stimulus triggered an event in my dream then waking up from it. This brings up another question. How does time work in dreams? The chances of the outside world coinciding with an event in a dream should be extremely rare. I don’t remember the specifics but I think I’ve had about half a dozen of these events in my adolescence.

I often sleep like a rock waking up in the exact position I fell asleep in (I can't use alarms to wake up because i start sleeping through after a couple weeks) but still about half of the time remember a dream

Love the giraffe shirt hank!!!!!!!!!

I often can remember my dreams right after I wake up, but later in the day (even 2 or 3 hours later) I can't remember a single thing. Not even what it was vaguely about.

I always rembering my dreams or repeating dreams or asking my self to wake up while scared works for me (lawn mower about to murder me, fire starts in our house, wild fire,) first lucid dream and most of my old dreams always has to do with a magic pink sparkley wand that is shaped like a star. I also can remember what I say and do in my lucid dreams and about a week later they happen one time u saw something sitting in front of me that I knew was not there then I say "dream again" And it comes it's not there anymore my childhood fears were 🔥🔥🔥

My dreams are better than a lot of movies I've seen. Last one was a mixture of My Hero Academia and the Promised Neverland, set in a sci-fi future just as diplomatic relations with aliens have broken down, war began and the aliens started harvesting our gifted children.

i've been v stressed and not sleeping well this pastweek and ive remembered every single dream and i never do

I like the smooth transition in the end lmao

My tip for anyone who want to remember your dreams: Keep saying to yourself before you fall asleep " _I will remember my dreams._ " That's how I trained myself to remember them ever since I was a teenager. Then I trained myself even more to try lucid dreaming which I've only succeeded with, once. It's awesome and amazing and I recommend everyone to experience such a thing.

As a kid I dreamed every night and I enjoyed it. A new episode every night. Now I don’t remember anything, only rarely, very little.

I have about 4 to 6 vivid and very specific dreams almost every night and often in the mornings I can remember at least a good gist of most of em or retain complete memory of some of them. This once I had exactly 6 or 7 dreams one night and woke up and could remember all of them in full detail and I blew my own mind although my smart assed self took no effort to write them down or anything so I forgot most within hrs. What really amazes me is that sometimes I'm in a dream and I get deja vu, or it's a made up setting I've dreamt of before but literally years back and I can recognise that I've been in the setting a very long time back. Sometimes my dreams reffer to other dreams I've had long back like theyre in the same dream universe. I always look forward to dreaming because it's absolutely fascinating to be in them, sometimes im semi aware that I'm dreaming for half a second and then consciously disregard that awareness because I'm afraid if I dwell on it I'll wake up. It's imp to mention here that im an INCREDIBLY light sleeper, all it takes is a few light knocks to wake me up and my sleep pattern is not very healthy most times ...my partner however dreams so rarely he insists he doesn't dream at all most nights, and he sleeps like a baby. Amazing how diverse the human brain is.

Hey Hank! Great video, but I'm actually a sleep tech and I can say at least some of this is untrue. Sure, if you keep randomly waking, you will probably remember your dreams better... but so do people who sleep super soundly and rest fully! It is kind of a 50/50 split on whether or not someone remembers their dreams either during a study or when I ask them about their time at home. I have had people that spent a long time in REM and had these crazy dreams, and then people who don't even feel like they slept. I have had people that didn't hit REM at all (or they did and it was super broken; you can dream out of REM it's just more uncommon) and say they had crazy dreams, and people who said they didn't dream at all despite the broken REM. What I can tell you is that there are a ton of sleep issues out there and I recommend everyone get a sleep study at least once in their lives, just to see how it goes, because sleep is CRITICAL in affecting other health issues. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea you want to get a new sleep study every 3-5 years to keep up with your CPAP pressure. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments! I love the sleep videos because it gets this cool field out into the public. I will try to read them all but youtube is terrible with reply chains...

The superpower with dreaming is being able to lucidly dream; realizing you are dreaming and taking control of the dream. I'm about 50/50 on either steering the direction of my dream when I realize I am dreaming...or waking up and losing the plot of the dream. Since my wife died, its been much more of a heartache when I lose the dream...its the only time I get to see her, touch her, smell her anymore. :(

I started antidepressants when I was young and I never recalled my dreams. I recently stopped and now all I do is have weird ass dreams

Most dreams I have are nightmares so I every evening I just hope the morning comes sooner.

Time to time I'd randomly remember a dream that I had weeks or even months ago

Apparently I have been a seriously light sleeper most of my life! I have kept dream journals (sporadically) from my teenage years. Vivid, often harrowing, downright terrifying on occasion. I think pretty 'well-adjusted, all things being considered. Noperphine (sp?) is in overdrive. Must contribute to the 'steamer trunks' under my eyes! Talk about carrying 'extra baggage"😅💜

This explains why I usually remember dreams when I go to sleep when I'm drunk. While I do not realize that my sleep is shallow, nor do I feel any hangover when waking up (I don't drink that much). Btw. I also experienced lucid dreams. And those I remember with very high fidelity. Also, some dream scenes repeat. Places, people, events. But each time in new context. When dreaming I realize that I already had a specific dream and what last time happened. Also I sort of know what will happen next. The problem with lucid dreaming is that once I gain consciousness while dreaming, I usually wake up.

I take medication that makes me have super vivid dreams. Maybe you guys can do a video on how SSRI’s affect the body n such!

I am a truly good sleeper and remember most my dreams in great detail. When I tell my dreams to my friends who use psychedelic drugs, they tell me they are exactly like some of their more intense paddo trips.

Three of my favourite authors: Blake Crouch, J.A. Konrath and Hank Green.

Strong dream memories for me are the ones that popped up a lot at a certain stage in my life and are distinct in their lack of oddity apart from a FEW specific details. A weird crazy dream has never stuck with me, a relatively normal but somewhat odd scenario however sits with me forever. For me it's looking up while lying flat on my back on the curb of a road. I can't move my body well because it's heavy, and I hear and see a car coming. I can't move out of the way and I panic, struggling to heavy my legs out of the road onto pavement but I can't. Then I wake up as I see the car gets close enough for me to see no one is driving it. No idea where it comes from, just know it's sat with me for over a decade.

Ever have a dream that shakes loose a past dream that you never remembered? It happens to me frequently.

I have a terrible memory and don't think of myself as a light sleeper but I have very vivid, often very realistic dreams, that I can usually remember a good amount of detail about the next day. I remember my dreams a few times a week.

It''s weird cause for me it's completely the opposite: if i sleep badly, toss around at night or wake up for bathroom, i never remember any dreams if i even have them, but if i sleep soundly the whole night uninterrupted, i almost without fail will have a vivid dream right before i wake up in the morning and i remember it.

I remember my dreams very vividly. They can fade throughout the day or if I immediately become distracted when I wake up then I can forget pretty quickly. But I mostly remember my dreams. Last night I had two dreams, one was a nightmare: First dream I was in a large building. What kind of building it was seemed to change throughout the dream. It ranged from being my mom's house to a large school-like building to a haunted mansion type building. It was the middle of the night and the moon was shining very bright light through the large windows. There was an IT like demon thing in the building and when it was near, the shadows on the floor would take a certain shape and there would be a clicking sound. I also think there was tense music as well. lol. if you didn't get to safety in time then the demon possessed or killed you or something. The second dream I was in charge of something in Heaven. There must have been some kind of catastrophe because there were a lot of newcomers, including my family members. There was this elderly gentlemen with short white hair, a suit, and glasses. He said he was going to enact the law of 777 and sacrifice 7 people to grant an impossible wish that would destroy the universe. I immediately got upset and pushed him to the ground and said hell no would I ever allow that. He simply smirked and said very confidently that I, myself, have already seen lightning strike twice. I couldn't stop him and he was going to make it happen. Then I woke up.

I'm watching this while writing some of my dreams down

It’s funny because I’ve always been a deep sleeper and used to have really vivid dreams that I would remember well. However once I started a MAO Inhibitor, (a type of antidepressant) after being on SSRIs, I barely ever remember my dreams. I don’t like it because I used to love my dreams however I feel much better generally on the MAO Inhibitors so it’s always a give and take.

I'm a light sleeper AND I can't remember my dreams...

You convinced me to join Audible and to check out the author you enticed me with and I am not joking or exaggerating I have not dreamed in half a year it’s not that I can’t remember it’s that I just don’t sleep hardly at all

I haven't remembered my dreams for many years unless I have a nightmare. Even then, I only vaguely recall bits and pieces of it. I rarely have nightmares, fortunately.

That makes sense. I remember most of my dreams, and I don't sleep well. My husband falls asleep quickly, sleeps well, and is up right away when he wakes up, and he rarely remembers his dreams.

My experience has always been that Im much more likely to remember a dream if Im woken up in the middle of it (like say by an alarm), where as if I wake up naturally I guess the dream ends before I wake up and I tend not to remember it. Though to be clear I always get out of bed very slowly so that part always applies to me.

I remember nightmares. Dreams. Night terrors. I remember everything. I am the Cenotaph.

I'm normally good at remembering things, but I can't remember any dream I've had except a few which is mainly me realising something never happened. Also I'm quite a light sleeper so now I'm confused 😅😅

So, for a while there I was prescribed Venlafaxine Hydrochloride, an antidepressant, for Reasons. The side effects related to sleep and dreams were absolutely terrible. Dreams were more vivid and memorable, even if they were ridiculous. I would say I was even lucid dreaming at some points. The worst part however was how my brain would spit out recollections of the dream sequences during the day, as if it were an actual memory. It made parsing reality from imaginary very difficult, especially if the dream was fairly realistic itself. Now that I am no longer taking that particular medication, memories of all those dreams have faded, but they're still there. I definitely appreciate being able to wake up and not need 5 minutes to work out if what I'm imagining is real or not, though I've kept some ability to manipulate the dream sequences as I'm waking up. That is, as long as an alarm isn't doing the waking up for me!

This has just left me scratching my head, I don't sleep well, I tend to have get up in the night to pee and I never remember any of my dreams.

Please do a video on lucid dreaming, dreams and lucid dreaming mean allot to me

In my case I'm a light sleeper, I suffer insomnia and I have been medicated for a long time although I always wake up 2 or 3 times during the night. But I have always been able to remember my dreams with precise detail. 10 days ago my psychiatrist changed a bit my medication and since then I'm not able to remember anything, not even when I'm still waking up during the night. I'm afraid my neo cortex is not getting enough blood, because I always wake up really tired, like I haven't rest at all

I write down my dreams, and I generally get to write down at least one weird dream per year. I recall hearing that Salvador Dali would sleep with a spoon in one hand, and put a saucer beside himself. When he dozed off he would drop the spoon and it would not the saucer. The noise would, startle him awake, and he would paint whatever was on his mind.

I keep a dream journal on my phone so when I awake I write it down. I got some pretty cool but complicated dream ngl 🤗

I usually have movie style dreams. Especially nightmares. Nightmares don’t scare me and haven’t since I was little.

Ive been able to remember my dreams and i know they are dreams but i also remember the way people be looking in my dreams, I don't really know if other people have that happen

I used to be kinda sad about not remembering dreams much because sleep seems so boring, but now that I know that it means I sleep well I'm glad. I do conk out fast and the few times I remember something I did sleep badly. For those days I usually wake up way too early and start continuing my dream so I end up not being able to tell when my dream stopped and when I fantasy began lol.

I remember most of my dreams and have written them down for years as they are so far out there. I am autistic and don't know if that contributes to it, but I have a very creative imagination and I do sleep well often. Just some examples of my unusual dreams. I am writing a book about them as with many I remember a lot of details about them. 1) I was a "Action Man" type character in the original thunderbirds style world, being chased by men in frog suits at dusk. 2) I was in a woman's house when her husband, Shere Khan (Tiger from The Jungle Book) came home and ordered me to leave threatening me with a "hug" and his deep growly voice. 3) I was a soldier fighting the French in some sort of French revolution in the 17 or 1800s and getting attacked and seeing priests getting drunk in a forest 4) I had another dream where I was a movie director in 50s or 60s and was being chased around and shot at by a man in a cowboy outfit . The man was playing a character in the movie I was directing. 5) Also once I distinctly remember my dream being in a different language than English. It was all in French and I was reading and talking in French and could understand what people were saying and so far it's the only dream I remember in a different language besides English. I have studied French language on and off for years and know quite a bit so that could be to do with it.

I remember my dreams pretty much every morning, and yes, I’m an incredibly light sleeper.

This might be really long so I'm sorry but I wanted to share to see if anyone else has dreams as weird or messed up as some of mine have been . I lucid dream a lot and a lot of the time I remember my dreams as well. Sometimes. Or the memory will fade throughout the day. And sometimes when I'm invested too much into a video game I start to dream matching scenarios. So I don't play as often as my boyfriend does. I had to hold off on Skyrim, GTA, Code Vein, an the new Tomb Raider games for a long time. It also happens with movies, TV shows, and the places I go to all the time or have been to, so past and current jobs, old houses and apartments I lived in, schools I went to, etc. And they always merge into people, places, and things from my everyday life. And they can become terrifying and they're always realistic, it's just how they play out. I know none of these would ever happen of course but the details and everything are too real sometimes. They're also really nice sometimes too. Here are some examples: Two different nightmares as a young kid I remember were: A) walking into a dark living room crowded with furniture and people I knew being eaten by the furniture that had big teeth. B) being chased through my mobile home by an old lady who would spray misbehaved kids with a spray bottle that turned them into pb&j sandwiches. I almost made the jump over the fence. Recently that I can think of..... : A) being chased by the unknown monster (theorized corrupted Steven) from Steven Universe while I was at a pool with various people I know and knew. It was huge and everytime I see it now it gives me chills. I still love the show immensely. B) I was involved in a GTA _V bank heist throughout my school and it turned into a shootout where we had to secure all the classrooms which had all the teachers I remember instructing class. Then I had to clean my locker or I wouldn't get that NJROTC promotion from my commander, and the last piece of a chocolate cheesecake sampler. C) a Zombieland themed dream. Had to progress to certain checkpoints before I could get my boyfriend and watch a movie at the theater. D) a dream where I had to destroy xenomorphs and their eggs. Then it merged to my old neighborhood and I got to sell girl scout cookies. E) I had a scenario play out where I was a character from a mobile game my boyfriend and I play called Soul Knight and I was clearing out areas of enemies, and they slowly developed a darker tone and the surroundings too and it turned into a Code Vein setting and I kept dying and coming back to face a female boss who shot Staples from a stapler and fire balls at me. I ended up winning and running down the hall of our current mobile home. There are worse dreams I've had and better ones too. I've even had a couple of biblical dreams as well. The happiest dreams are when my deceased cat visits me. She looks and smells the same as she did before . And rarely my Mom will come visit me too. She passed away when I was little but I still remember her. I had another dream where I was gonna introduce her and my boyfriend. Never got to. I woke up.
