Why when I have a good dream I cant remember it but when I have a bad I can?

I would like to remember the 'really good ones' but of coarse the bad dreams are more clear than possible?

Emaz help agony auntI usually have the same thing. I think it may be because bad dreams usually have more feelings in them as well as more action so while you're sleeping your mind may be scared of this dream which might make you remember it in the morning. I prefer these sorts of dreams because they make me want to know what happens at the end if i wake up half way through and then i might make up the ending lol

Google lucid dreams. There are certain things you can do to help out your dreaming such as taking vitamin B6 and some others before bed. I take an OTC sleep aid called unisom that as a side effect makes it so I can remember almost every dream I have, some even more vivid than I'd like. I don't take it for that reason and I wouldn't recommend going down that road with a sleep aid but there are more natural vitamins and supplements available.

That's something you can't possibly have control over unless you sit and really try to remember what was dreamt the night before. Sometimes you don't even remember for days later, like a deja vu. Maybe you have a lot of bad dreams. If that's the case then you're probably going through some obstacles in your life, so you're just turning all those thoughts into nightmares in your sleep. So try to think of good thoughts before you go to bed and hopefully you'll have better dreams that you'll remember.
