This is consistent with my own observations - I often have really
strange dreams, but forget them by the time I wake up.  The only
way I can remember a dream is to wake up during the dream and then
make a concious effort to remember the highlights.  Usually I've
lost most of them anyway.

What I've always wondered about is, do people dream in real time?
I gather that a typical dream lasts only a few minutes.  Yet it
seems to take forever.  Is there some sort of time compression going
on, or is it just the bizarreness of the dream making it seem like
a long time?
