    This is pretty normal. You dream a lot in one night. And only tend to recall the last one (primacy/recency) and attribute that memory to the belief it was the one dream you spent the entire sleep in when in reality, you likely had a dozen of them and the last, which probably lasted a few minutes, is the one fresh in your mind.

    If you’re consistently remembering dreams or if they are very vivid and graphic (not necessarily lewd or obscene but rather extremely impactful), you are likely suffering from chronic stress (and maybe other disorders) as a well rested sleep should leave you refreshed and with a clean memory.
