Why do you remember nightmares more than dreams?

Because nightmares stick in your head more, even though you are not technically conscious, and they make more of an impact on your brain. Its like seeing a list of Words and trying to memorise them

• if there are a few rude, scary or funny Words in that list you

will remember them better than if the Word 'Answer' or 'The' or 'centre' were written down. Its all about your brain and if your nightmare is particularly scary, you might not be able to get it out of your brain.
