Most of the time, i don't remember my dreams. I may remember it right after i wake up from one but after falling back asleep and waking up again, it's usually forgotten. I may remember the fact i had a dream and even that it was a nightmare or very horrifying or disturbing but i almost never remember them for long.
But there is one very big exception which ties in with something that i've always heard about dreams. I've always heard that it was impossible to die in a dream. Well i had a dream last year where i did die. I was in a car accident in the dream and i had gone from experiencing everything in the first person to then looking at myself in the third person like my spirit had left my body. Once it dawned on me what happened, i thought "This CAN'T be a dream - i always heard you can't die in a dream" and the most disturbing part of all was that i actually tried very hard to open my eyes and wake up (i think by that point it became a bit of a lucid dream as i could simultaneously sense being asleep and the dream experience) - and my eyes wouldn't open and i couldn't wake up. That was really terrifying and the combination of that weird horror to having a lifelong belief being proven untrue caused me to still remember that one to this day.
