Jill Wigmore-Welsh - Answering "Why do we remember strange parts of our dreams?": on BBC Radio

Based in the UK, I'm often asked to go onto BBC Radio to answer questions listeners have raise about sleep or dreams. Invariably I create a series of notes before the broadcast and only a small amount goes out on air. Instead of letting this information sit in a folder, I thought " I wonder whether this question might be one more people have?". This question was "Why do we remember strange events that took place in our dreams? Apparently listeners phoned in and gave some quite extraordinarily 'weird' accounts of activities in their dreams ! When I went on air I wanted to answer the question, in a sensible evidence based way. Hope you enjoy this episode and as always do let me know your thoughts. My online practice help with your sleep is If you have trouble sleeping you can been a 30 minute consultation online. xxx J
