How many dreams do we really have?
I was talking to a friend about this, and it turns out he already had some knowledge on the subject, so it was pretty cool to talk to him about it. Then it just started getting frustrating. I told him about the sleep stages and whatnot, and he told me that once we enter unconciousness that we enter the dream world. Basically, he said we have one long dream throughout the night. His excuse for remembering only a few, is because you only remember the dream during the REM stages, since that's when the brain is most active...and that's why he said you think they are different dreams, because they happen hours apart(REM stages).
So do any of you actually know that the dreams we remember are different dreams, and not parts of one big one?
