right bro, but there was also a show that said america was discovered in 1842...

cognitive psychology is my favorite subject matter man, and it would argue your point as well --- but it's subject matter argues against itself as well...

its conflicted in terms of memory -- our ability to retain memories through external stimuli is not the same from 'within'... 'within' is, in some ways, more difficult, because we "think about remembering" when we are awake more than we do when we are asleep


nevertheless ---- learn how to balance the transition between brainwave levels, and you can absolutely recall more than 1-2 dreams per night.... in fact, if you practice meditation/etc (which gets you closer to the same brainwave level), you can learn how to remember enough dreams that you stop discerning between the differences...

macro and microcosms... at some point those 50 dreams transition and bleed into 1-2 anyway... from ya gradmas house to floating in space, was that one, two, or 3 hundred dreams apart? you know?
