[Mind's Eye] This is what dreams are made of

[pol.science kid]

no.. i dont know  wat  dreams  are  made of..but i was wondering.. why
is it that we are able to 'remember' our dreams.. like a real
memory..like something happening in real life..i mean the only way we
know it was a dream is the fact that we remember waking up too...now i
know i can read a lot of books and wat not on the topic..but since i
am already burdened with the social science literature in my
curriculum i was hoping one of you guys might give me a lucid
explanation...
