Dreams are produced by the subconscious mind, and experienced while the conscious mind rests. Upon waking, the conscious mind cannot always access dreams before they fade away. This may be due to the different functions of the conscious and subconscious minds, and their differing access to memories. If the dream fades before registering in the conscious mind, it might not be stored in either the short-term or long-term memory.

∙ 12y agoWhen you dream you only dream in fragments. It may feel like you have experienced a whole story but really you have only dreamed one small part of it and have the impression that you went through the whole production.
Often your dreams are in black and white as well. For example: if you woke up from a nightmare of a man attacking you with a knife and asked yourself 'what colour was the man? You may be surprised to find that you cannot answer the question.
Your dreams are only in point form, not a well fleshed-out script.
At night a person has 5-6 dreams although they are often remembered as one dream as the brain cannot tell the difference. When asleep you have different stages, deep sleep and REM. REM sleep is the time in which you dream, REM stands for Rapid Eye movement as when you dream your eye moves behind your eyelid. REM sleep often lasts for two hours at a time with deep sleep filling the gaps. If you wake during REM sleep you will remember the dreams you had that night but if you wake during deep sleep you won't.
Many dreams represent nothing other than the subconscious mind's sorting of the day's thoughts, feelings and experiences. These dreams flicker through the mind during sleep but are not recorded in either long- or short-term memory. Other dreams function to release the dreamer's stress or emotional tension, and need not be remembered to be effective. One generally only remembers dreams that occur immediately before one awakens.
Well usually the only dreams you remember are the best or worst dreams. ... Then again maybe its just your memory!

Dreams are nothing to worry about unless they are the "night terror" kind, where they seem so real that when you wake up you're not sure they were dreams. Those are usually a sign of severe emotional distress, and should be discussed with a professional. Even then, they don't mean that you have a mental illness. Everyone dreams, and everyone has strange dreams. However, we only remember the dreams that occur just before we wake up, so most of our dreaming is a mystery to us.
