Why can't some people remember their dreams?

From: BBC

For many of us, dreams are an almost intangible presence. If we're lucky, we can only remember the most fleeting glimpse in the cold light of day; even those of us who can recollect past dreams in astonishing detail can wake some days with almost no memory of what we had dreamed about.

There is little ethereal about the reasons this might be happening, however. Why we have dreams – and whether we can remember them – are both rooted in the biology of our sleeping bodies and subconscious mind.

Sleep is more complicated than we once thought. Rather than being a plateau of unconsciousness bookended by slipping in and out of sleep, our resting brains go through a rollercoaster of mental states, with some parts being full of mental activity.

Dreaming is most closely associated with the sleep state known as Rapid Eye Movement (REM). REM is sometimes known as desynchronised sleep, because it can mimic some of the signs of being awake. In REM sleep, the eyes twitch rapidly, there are changes in breathing and circulation, and the body enters a paralysed state known as atonia. It happens in 90-minute-waves during sleep, and it's at this stage that our brains tend to dream.

There is an extra flow of blood to crucial parts of our brain during the REM state: the cortex, which fills our dreams with their content, and the limbic system, which processes our emotional state. While we're in this dream-friendly state of sleep, they fire with furious electrical activity. The frontal lobes, however – which direct our critical faculties – are quiet.

This means we often blindly accept what is happening in this often nonsensical narrative until the time comes to wake up.

The problem is, the more jumbled the imagery, the harder it is for us to grasp hold of. Dreams that have a clearer structure are much easier for us to remember, psychology professor and author Deidre Barrett said in a recent story on Gizmodo.

But there's a chemical component at work which is crucial for making sure those dream images are retained: noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is a hormone that primes the body and mind for action, and our levels of it are naturally lower in deep sleep.

Francesca Siclari, a sleep research doctor at the Lausanne University Hospital, says there are clear definitions between our states of wake and sleep – and that is no accident. “It's probably a good thing that the dream life and the waking life are completely different,” she says.

“I think if you remembered every detail like you can do in waking life, you would start to confuse things with what's actually happening in your real life.”

It is no accident that the dreams we remember the most come from certain periods in our sleep cycle, affected by the chemicals coursing through our sleeping bodies. “Normally we dream most vividly in REM sleep, which is when the levels of noradrenaline are low in the brain,” she says.

含注释全文：

Why can't some people remember their dreams? 为什么有些人记不住自己的梦？

From: BBC

For many of us, dreams are an almost intangible presence. If we're lucky, we can only remember the most fleeting glimpse in the cold light of day; even those of us who can recollect past dreams in astonishing detail can wake some days with almost no memory of what we had dreamed about.

对我们很多人来说，梦几乎是一种无形的存在。如果运气好，我们只能在平静下来后记住最短暂的一幕；即便是有些人能以惊人的详细程度回忆自己做过的梦，但有时醒来后也几乎不记得自己梦到什么了。

intangible /ɪnˈtæn.dʒə.bəl/ 表示“（感觉或性质）难以捉摸的，无法形容的，难以确定的”，英文解释为“impossible to touch, to describe exactly, or to give an exact value”举个🌰：She has that intangible quality which you might call charisma. 她具有一种难以捉摸的特质，你或许会称之为领袖气质。

📍我们常听说的非物质文化遗产，就是：intangible cultural heritage.

fleeting /ˈfliː.tɪŋ/ 表示“短暂的；迅速的”，英文解释为“short or quick”如：a fleeting glimpse 迅速的一瞥。

glimpse /ɡlɪmps/ 一词早在iOS 14来了!文中出现过Apple just offered a glimpse at how the experience of using an iPhone is about to change.

1）表示“一瞥；一见”，英文解释为“an occasion when you see something or someone for a very short time”举个🌰：He caught a glimpse of her in the crowd. 他一眼瞥见她在人群里。

2）表示“短暂的感受（或领会/体验）”，英文解释为“a quick idea or understanding of what something is like”举个🌰：This biography offers a few glimpses of his life before he became famous. 这部传记展示了他成名前的一些生活情况。

📺英剧《神探夏洛克》（Sherlock）第一季中的台词提到：I've given you a glimpse, Sherlock, just a teensy glimpse. 我给过你暗示 夏洛克 一点点提示/只字片语。

表示“事后冷静理智地回想某事（常感到遗憾或羞愧）”，英文解释为“If you think about something in the cold light of day, you think about it clearly and calmly, without the emotions you had at the time it happened, and you often feel sorry or ashamed about it.”举个🌰：The next morning, in the cold light of day, Sarah realized what a complete idiot she had been. 第二天早上，莎拉回过头来冷静地想了想，意识到自己当时是多么的愚蠢。

astonishing /əˈstɒn.ɪ.ʃɪŋ/ 表示“令人惊讶的；惊人的”，英文解释为“very surprising”举个🌰：Her first novel enjoyed an astonishing success. 她的第一部小说取得了惊人的成功。

There is little ethereal about the reasons this might be happening, however. Why we have dreams – and whether we can remember them – are both rooted in the biology of our sleeping bodies and subconscious mind.

然而，其原因没什么神秘的。我们为什么会做梦——以及我们是否能记住自己的梦——都源于我们睡觉时身体和潜意识的生理特性。

ethereal /iˈθɪə.ri.əl/ 表示“轻飘的，缥缈的；优雅的；（尤指）超凡的”，英文解释为“light and delicate, especially in an unnatural way”如：an ethereal being 精灵。

subconscious /ˌsʌbˈkɒn.ʃəs/ 表示“潜意识，下意识”，英文解释为“the part of your mind that notices and remembers information when you are not actively trying to do so, and influences your behaviour even though you do not realize it”举个🌰：The memory was buried deep within my subconscious. 那段记忆深深埋藏在我的潜意识里。

Sleep is more complicated than we once thought. Rather than being a plateau of unconsciousness bookended by slipping in and out of sleep, our resting brains go through a rollercoaster of mental states, with some parts being full of mental activity.

睡眠比我们曾经以为的要复杂得多。在我们睡着时，休眠的大脑并非处于因时睡时醒而被分割成多个阶段的无意识且稳定的状态，而是会经历一系列急剧变化的精神状态。在其中一些阶段，我们的心理活动极其丰富。

plateau /ˈplætəʊ/ 作名词，1）表示“高原”，英文解释为“A plateau is a large area of high and fairly flat land.”

2）表示“平稳期；停滞期”，英文解释为“a period during which there are no large changes”

作动词，表示“稳定；停滞”，英文解释为“to reach a particular level and then stay the same”举个🌰：I'd been losing about a pound a week on my diet, but recently I've plateaued and haven't lost an ounce. 我通过节食体重每周减轻1磅左右，但最近体重稳定了下来，1磅也没少。

bookend /ˈbʊk.end/ 作名词，表示“书立，书挡”，英文解释为“an object used, especially in pairs, to keep a row of books standing vertically”

作动词，表示“被……前后包围、前后夹着、由……首尾构成”

rollercoaster /ˈrəʊ.ləˌkəʊ.stər/ 表示“过山车，云霄飞车”，英文解释为“an exciting entertainment in an amusement park, like a fast train that goes up and down very steep slopes and around very sudden bends”举个🌰：Children will love the indoor rollercoaster. 孩子们会喜欢室内过山车的。

Dreaming is most closely associated with the sleep state known as Rapid Eye Movement (REM). REM is sometimes known as desynchronised sleep, because it can mimic some of the signs of being awake. In REM sleep, the eyes twitch rapidly, there are changes in breathing and circulation, and the body enters a paralysed state known as atonia. It happens in 90-minute-waves during sleep, and it's at this stage that our brains tend to dream.

做梦和名为“快速眼动”（Rapid Eye Movement ，REM）的睡眠状态关系最为密切。快速眼动有时又被称做“去同步睡眠”，因为它能模拟一些醒着时的迹象。在快速眼动睡眠中，眼球快速移动，人体的呼吸和循环发生变化，身体进入一种名为弛缓（atonia）的瘫痪状态。在睡眠中，这种状态会以90分钟为周期循环出现。我们的大脑往往会在这个阶段做梦。

de- /diː-/ 表示“（用于名词或动词前）表示“相反”、“除去”或“减少””，英文解释为“used to add the meaning "opposite", "remove", or "reduce" to a noun or verb”如：deforestation 砍伐森林。

英式 synchronised 美式 synchronized /ˈsɪŋ.krə.naɪzd/ 表示“同步的，同时发生的”，英文解释为“happening together, at the same or right time, or in the expected way”举个🌰：The attacks don't appear to be synchronized. 这些进攻似乎并不同步。

twitch /twɪtʃ/ 1）表示“（使）抽搐；（使）抽动；（使）颤动”，英文解释为“(to cause) to make a sudden small movement with a part of the body, usually without intending to”举个🌰：He tried to suppress a smile but felt the corner of his mouth twitch. 他试图忍住笑，但感到嘴角在抽动。

表示“急拉；轻拉；拉扯”，英文解释为“to give something a sudden light pull”举个🌰：You'll feel something twitch the line when you get a fish. 鱼上钩时，你会感到有东西在轻轻拉钓鱼线。

paralysed /ˈpær.əl.aɪzd/ 表示“麻痹的，瘫痪的”，英文解释为“unable to move or act”举个🌰：The accident left her paralysed from the waist down. 这起事故导致她腰部以下瘫痪。

There is an extra flow of blood to crucial parts of our brain during the REM state: the cortex, which fills our dreams with their content, and the limbic system, which processes our emotional state. While we're in this dream-friendly state of sleep, they fire with furious electrical activity. The frontal lobes, however – which direct our critical faculties – are quiet.

在快速眼动睡眠阶段，会有额外的血液流向大脑的关键部位：脑皮层和大脑边缘系统。脑皮层为我们的梦提供内容，大脑边缘系统则负责处理我们的情绪状态。当我们处于这种有利于做梦的睡眠状态时，这两个地方充斥着激烈的脑电活动。然而，掌控辨别能力的额叶却一片沉寂。

cortex /ˈkɔː.teks/ 表示“（尤指大脑或其他器官的）皮层，皮质”，英文解释为“the outer layer, especially of the brain and other organs”如：the cerebral cortex 大脑皮层。

limbic /ˈlɪm.bɪk/ 表示“边缘系统的”，英文解释为“forming part of, or relating to, the limbic system”如：the limbic area of the brain 大脑边缘区域。

📍the limbic system 表示“大脑边缘系统”，英文解释为“a system of nerves and other structures in the brain that controls many of our emotions”

faculty /ˈfæk.əl.ti/ 1）表示“官能，机能”，英文解释为“a natural ability to hear, see, think, move, etc.”举个🌰：Even at the age of 100, she still had all her faculties. 甚至在百岁高龄时，她的一切身体机能仍然保持正常。

2）表示“能力，才能”，英文解释为“a special ability to do a particular thing”举个🌰：She has a faculty for inspiring confidence in people. 她具有激发他人信心的能力。

3）美式，表示“（高等院校中院系的）全体教师”，英文解释为“the people who teach in a department in a college”举个🌰：He has been a faculty member at the college for 20 years. 他在学院任教已有20年。

This means we often blindly accept what is happening in this often nonsensical narrative until the time comes to wake up.

这意味着我们常常会盲目接受没有意义的叙述，直到醒来。

nonsensical /ˌnɒnˈsen.sɪ.kəl/ 表示“愚蠢的；荒谬的”，英文解释为“silly or stupid”举个🌰：It's nonsensical to blame all the world's troubles on one man. 把世界上所有的麻烦都归咎于一个人是很荒谬的。

narrative /ˈnær.ə.tɪv/ 作形容词，表示“叙述的，讲故事式的”，英文解释为“telling a story”如：a narrative poem 叙述诗。

作名词，1）表示“故事；叙事”，英文解释为“A narrative is a story or an account of a series of events.”如：a fast-moving narrative 一个快节奏的叙事。

2）表示“（对事件的特定的）陈述”，英文解释为“a particular way of explaining or understanding events”

The problem is, the more jumbled the imagery, the harder it is for us to grasp hold of. Dreams that have a clearer structure are much easier for us to remember, psychology professor and author Deidre Barrett said in a recent story on Gizmodo.

问题是，梦境越混乱，我们越难掌握。前不久，心理学教授兼作家巴雷特（Deidre Barrett）在发表在Gizmodo上的一篇文章中称，梦的结构越清晰，我们越容易记住。

jumble /ˈdʒʌm.bəl/ 作动词，表示“使杂乱；使混乱”，英文解释为“to mix things together untidily”举个🌰：Her clothes were all jumbled up/together in the suitcase. 她的衣服都胡乱扔在手提箱里。

But there's a chemical component at work which is crucial for making sure those dream images are retained: noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is a hormone that primes the body and mind for action, and our levels of it are naturally lower in deep sleep.

但有一种化学成分起了作用，它能确保我们记住梦中的画面：去甲肾上腺素（noradrenaline）。去甲肾上腺素是一种激素，负责让身体和大脑为行动做好准备。在深度睡眠中，我们体内的去甲肾上腺素水平自然比较低。

hormone /ˈhɔːməʊn/ 表示“激素；荷尔蒙”，英文解释为“a chemical substance produced in the body or in a plant that encourages growth or influences how the cells and tissues function; an artificial substance that has similar effects”如：growth hormones 生长激素。

prime /praɪm/ 1）表示“首要的，主要的；基本的”，英文解释为“main or most important”举个🌰：This is a prime example of 1930s architecture. 这是20世纪30年代建筑风格的一个重要的范例。

2）表示“质量最好的，一流的”，英文解释为“of the best quality”举个🌰：The hotel is in a prime location in the city centre. 该旅馆位于市中心的黄金地段。

作为动词，prime通常指为某个过程或活动做准备。 prime /praɪm/ 表示“事先给（某人）提供情况，使有所准备”，英文解释为“to tell someone something that will prepare them for a particular situation”举个🌰：I'd been primed so I knew not to mention her son. 因为事先得到提醒，所以我知道不要提及她的儿子。

prime the pump表示“投资以振兴（新的或不景气的企业或行业）”，英文解释为“to encourage the growth of a new or weak business or industry by putting money into it”

Francesca Siclari, a sleep research doctor at the Lausanne University Hospital, says there are clear definitions between our states of wake and sleep – and that is no accident. “It's probably a good thing that the dream life and the waking life are completely different,” she says.

洛桑大学医院（Lausanne University Hospital）研究睡眠的医生西克拉里（Francesca Siclari）说，我们在清醒和睡眠状态之间有着清晰的界定，这并非偶然。“梦中的生活和现实生活完全不同，这可能是件好事，”她说。

“I think if you remembered every detail like you can do in waking life, you would start to confuse things with what's actually happening in your real life.”

“我觉得，如果能像在现实生活中一样记住每一个细节，你就会把梦境和现实生活中发生的事情混淆在一起。”

It is no accident that the dreams we remember the most come from certain periods in our sleep cycle, affected by the chemicals coursing through our sleeping bodies. “Normally we dream most vividly in REM sleep, which is when the levels of noradrenaline are low in the brain,” she says.

我们记得最清楚的梦来自睡眠周期中的特定阶段，并受一些快速流经人体的化学物质的影响，这并非偶然。“通常情况下，我们在快速眼动睡眠中做的梦最清晰，在这个阶段，大脑去甲肾上腺素水平较低，”她说。

course /kɔːs/ 作名词，1）表示“竞赛场地；球场；跑道；泳道”，英文解释为“an area of land or water used for a sports event”如：a golf course 高尔夫球场。

2）表示“（尤指飞机、航天器或轮船的）航向，航道，路线；（河流的）流向，水道”，英文解释为“the direction in which a vehicle, especially an aircraft, spacecraft, or ship, moves, or the path along which a river flows”举个🌰：Changing the course of the river would cause serious environmental damage to the whole valley. 河流改道会严重危害整个流域的环境。

作动词，表示“奔流；奔涌；大量流动”，英文解释为“a part of a meal that is served separately from the other parts”举个🌰：Tears were coursing down his cheeks. 泪水从他的脸颊滚落。
