What Causes Forgetting Dreams?

Forgetting dreams can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'minor' to 'needs attention'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose forgetting dreams, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "forgetting dreams" as a symptom. Here are six possibilities:

Low Melatonin
Liver Congestion
Vitamin B6 Need
DMAE Need
Vitamin B-Complex Need
Pyroluria

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

history of gallbladder attacks

cysts in breasts

reduced desire to eat breakfast

dark areas under eyes

being prone to 'stitches'

carpal tunnel syndrome

numb/burning/tingling extremities

high alcohol consumption

history of B6 deficiency

strong-smelling urine

ovarian cysts

white spots on fingernails

... and more than 60 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of forgetting dreams:

Cause	Probability	Status
Liver Congestion	98%	Confirm
Vitamin B-Complex Need	65%	Possible
Low Melatonin	29%	Unlikely
Pyroluria	1%	Ruled out
Vitamin B6 Need	0%	Ruled out
DMAE Need	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Sleep Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about remembering or forgetting dreams:

Do you remember your dreams when you wake up?

Possible responses:

→ I almost always remember my dreams clearly
→ Average - sometimes I remember / don't know
→ I almost always forget them quickly

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either remembering dreams or forgetting dreams, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

DMAE Requirement

DMAE causes dreams to become more lucid/vivid.

Liver Detoxification / Support Requirement

Low Melatonin Level

Low melatonin levels can cause poor dream recall.

Pyroluria

Vitamin B6 Requirement

Vitamin B-Complex Requirement
