This is the opposite of DADT ('Don't Ask, Don't Tell').
I had a dream the other night that I had failed to put out our recycling bin and was dragging it down the street while chasing the truck. In light of how little running I can do in real life, I was sort of impressed with the pace I maintained in my dream.
Actually, what should have impressed me was that I remembered any aspect of that dream because I tend not to do that at all. I'm not alone, though I find this to be of small solace. With apologies to Willie and Prince Hamlet, dreaming is not necessarily everything it's cracked up to be.
It's a fine line between a coiled spring and a mortal coil, only one of which is available at your local hardware store. But as vexing as it is to NOT be able to remember dreams, a larger question could/should be why do we dream at all, and the answer(s) are not simple or direct.
In the course of all of this, I stumbled across a previously unknown to me quote from Edgar Cayce that I very much enjoy: "Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions." If only.....
