For a long time psychologists including my father have been telling me that there are different types of memory, and more often than not we will experiance one more than others. The types of memory are things like Visual, Emotional and Aural.

My dreams are always, without exception, very vivid in a visual manner. That is, I can recall exact scenes from my dream down to the last detail. Very rarely can I remember specific sounds or physical sensations. Ocassionally I can retain an emotional impressing from the dream. With conversations, I cannot remmeber how they sounded, just what was said.

I know my memory and learning type is highly visual, and my dreams reflect that. What I was wondering is there anyone on DV who knows that they learn things and remember things using aural or kinesthetic techniques? Is this reflected in your dreams? Do you remember a sound better than an image, or an emotion or a sensation?

Are these characteristics just related to how we remember our dreams, or do our dreams themselves show bias in what qualities we experiance? Does the style of our actual dreams vary according to our brain's best qualities?

Does my dream actually lack sound or do I just remember it that way?
