How often do people normally recall dreams?
Upon REM awakening in the lab about 82% recalled dreams; In about 5 minutes 50% of the content is forgotten, after about 10 minutes, 90% is lost. Memory systems are largely responsible (working memory is off line) but personality may play a small role in this since those with artistic and imagery abilities, and those with greater memory for visual images recalled more often. No differences between the sexes were found. I have found INTEREST in recalling dreams to be the key.
