Question: How many dreams do we have each night?

Keywords:

  1. As you may have read in the answer to the other dreaming question (‘do our dreams mean something.. etc’) deciding on what exactly a dream is, is already tricky. Quantifying them seems impossible to me, sorry 🙁

    You may want to google ‘lucid dreaming’ if you’re interested in influencing how you dream.

  2. Apparently the average is 3-5 dreams per night and dreams usually occur during the rapid-eye movement (REM) phase of sleep. We usually have about 2 hours of REM sleep in an 8 hour block of sleep.
    But there are probably lots of factors that may affect how many dreams you have each night.
    I love flying dreams the best!

  3. As the others have said – it’s hard to quantify dreams! I find that my dreams meld from one to another but it’s hard to differentiate them!

    I always think it would be fascinating to record our dreams if it were possible!
