Yes, most people do forget their dreams. Scientists have proven that if people didn't dream every night, they would go clinically mad.
Also, even on the dreams you do remember, 80 to 90% of it is lost after the first 5 minutes of waking up.
Even unborn babies dream, as thanks to new 3 and 4D scanning, they have discovered that unborn babies have rapid eye movement sleep (and we dream during rapid eye movement).
If you were eating peaches, that means personal pleasures, something nice to enjoy, but just tasting them without seeing the actual peach, I'm not sure, it could well be your son's exams.
A good way to remember dreams is to write down the ones you do remember and then you will find your memory sharpens. I keep a dream journal and I remember mine every day, but if I quit journaling, I start forgetting them.
BTW, Floridagirl, I forgot to say I'm sorry about your infertility nightmare. That must be heartbreaking. I can see how that would have impacted on your M.
I was an egg donor last November for 2 women with infertility difficulties but the cycle of IVF for both women failed and when they told me I cried with disappointment for them, and it wasn't even me that went through it.
It was 7 months of needles and exams and surgery, so I am leaving it a year or so but I think I might volunteer again in the future, while I am still young enough.
That made me laugh. Well, only 2 of my friends are British so I wouldn't know One was raised in a boarding school run by nuns and she lives in this 1940's cottage that still hasn't been modernised, no TV, no radio etc and she wears old fashioned clothes (for her age) and still walks up the road to fetch milk from the local farmer.
I can't ever imagine her having sex but she must have done as she has a 16 year old DD (no R since he left when the kid was 5, though)
The other friend, she is the OPPOSITE of prim and proper and see tells me so much stuff sometimes I find it too much information
Then of course everyone else I know is Greek, Turkish, German, French or Italian, or a MAN, which quite frankly is a foreign species
