I could remember two times: when i had mocking my brother then stop doing that and each time i feel need to leave the phone
We always dream, but usually we cant remember the dreams. It helps to keep a dream journal, ie every morning directly after waking up, write down as much as you remember from last nights dreams (or instead talk about it with someone). Over time you will remember more and more details.
I was(I guess still am) really into lucid dreaming in college. You can kinda teach yourself how to do this but it’s a lot of specific things you have to do … Like every time you walk thru a doorway, ask yourself, how did I get here? Like what was the pathway, reason and such. If you don’t recall, you’re likely dreaming.
There’s also a tea you can make that helps… But it tastes pretty bad…but quite effective. I can’t remember the scientific name but the ‘Mexican leaves of god’ should point you in the right direction…calea something with a z… I think. and blend it with normal tea. It can be smoked…but I found the tea way more impactful.

Sleeping is a great time for the brain to synthesize and assimilate recently learned things, so new ideas stemming from what you’ve learned could manifest in a dream. Like the structure of benzene that came to a scientist in a dream and now is the accepted chemical structure.
I personally once had this dream where I got blonde hair and blue eyes and while playing baseball, I noticed that the sky was brighter than usual and the sun’s glare was really bad. Found out later when I got up that people with blue eyes do see more glare when it is bright out.
As for learning in the sense of having a TV or speaker on an educational program while you sleep, it’s enough to disrupt sleep patterns, but hasn’t consistently been shown to be enough for learning.
I actually have a real, studied, easy thing you can try!
I found out by accident because I was taking b vitamins daily and started taking them at night, and noticed I was suddenly having very vivid dreams.
So much so that I googled it and it turns out that taking b6 before bed can cause vivid dreams and dream recall!
Here’s a study, there are a few.
Step one, write in a dream journal or just try to remember the dream as soon as you wake up. Doing this will improve your dream memory instead of it just fading away.
Step two, have a check to see if you’re dreaming as a habit. Holding your nose closed and breathing through it is a nice one since you’ll be able to breath anyway in a dream.
Step three, establish cues, like every time you walk through a door or whatever just so you’re doing it frequently, the more the better.
Step four, wait until you get a dream where you try breathing through your nose. You’ll become lucid instantly and gain control over the dream.
Step five is just exploration of how to maintain the lucid dream state. Generally it’s very exciting to have a lucid dream but excitement wakes you up. Spinning around in circles and trying to involve all senses such as touch, smell, taste etc will help you make the dream clearer and more real.
I used to be into this and had a blast flying around, teleporting, conjuring and whatnot.
