I forget 99% of my dreams within 5 mins of waking up
But when you force yourself awake cause you think you might be dying, I never forget that.
I heard if you dream you die you really do, I don't believe in that--why when my car was in the pond and I was almost certain it was a dream I told myself its just a dream relax but then I second guessed myself as the car was underwater.
That was a good ten years ago, I like outgrew scary dreams--I get upsetting dreams at times but I don't wake up shaking and yelling, lol
