Best Answer

We forget many of our dreams unless we wake up during or just after REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Waking up at any other stage in the sleep cycle reduced our chances of remembering our dreams. Sometimes a dream is suddenly remembered later in the day or on another day, suggesting that the memory is not totally lost but for some reason is very hard to retrieve.
