While the content of most dreams is dreamt only once, many people experience recurring dreams—that is, the same dream narrative or dreamscape is experienced over different occasions of sleep.
The recall of dreams is extremely unreliable, though it is a skill that can be trained. Dreams can usually be recalled if a person is awakened while dreaming.<ref name="npr"/> Women tend to have more frequent dream recall than men.<ref name="npr">[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15778923 The Scienc...

The range of REM can bee seen across species: dolphins experience minimum REM, while humans remain in the middle and the opossum and the armadillo are among the most prolific dreamers...
