20 Mind-Blowing Facts About Dreams 😴✨
Dreams are mysterious, strange, and sometimes more powerful than we realize.
Scientists still don’t fully understand why we dream — but here are 20 shocking, mind-blowing dream facts that will make your readers say “WOW!”
1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams
Within 10 minutes of waking up, most people forget almost everything they dreamed about.
2. You Can’t Read in Dreams
Most people cannot read text, books, or digital screens inside dreams.
The brain is too busy creating the dream world.

Your brain cannot invent new faces, so every person in your dream is someone you’ve seen before — even for one second in real life.

Even if you think you “didn’t dream,” you actually did. You simply forgot it.
