It’s weird how I’ll see a dream and really ponder over it right after waking only for it to be completely out of my memory shortly after.

    It’s because your dreams are not allocated to long term memory but instead short term memory.

    Unless you make an active effort to move said memories into to long term memory, they will be literally deleted as most passing thoughts will.

    It should be noted that when you dream a lot of your brain is inactive. This includes a few logic centers and in fact the part of your brain responsible for maintaining long term memory
