    Dreams Mystery
AI Thread Summary
Different individuals experience unique dreams shaped by their personal contexts and life experiences. On average, people dream 3 to 5 times per night, although this frequency can vary based on individual needs. Dreams are influenced by daily experiences, as they often incorporate elements from a person's recent activities and emotions. Additionally, dreams play a role in processing short-term memories, which is why they are frequently forgotten; they typically do not transition into long-term memory.
