【英语时差8,16】为何我们记不住某些梦？（上）

 There’s something really funny about dreams. Well, ok. There are a lot of funny things ahout dreams. Like the one I had while I'm sitting here in the studio¹ when I suddenly realise² I forgot to put on my pants. Oh, just a dream. But even though we all can remember certain kinds of dreams, it’s curious³ just how hard it is to remember your dreams in general. Think about that. We might dream several times during the night. But yet by the time we’ve gotten up and stumbled⁴ into the bathroom, almost all of that dream material is gone. It seemed so real a minute ago, we say. What was it…? Well, although we understand much more about dreams than ever before, there’s no hard and fast answer to this question. But one reason probably has to do with our evolutionary⁵ history.
