A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dreams are notoriously difficult to recall. In fact, if a dream ends before we wake up, we will not remember it. The processes that allow us to create long-term memories largely lie dormant while we sleep, which is why most dreams are forgotten shortly after waking.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a matter of facts, neurobiology has demonstrated that, although all of us dream every night, not everybody remembers what he/she has dreamt. This is the reason why researchers have started to measure the percentage of the individuals who can remember their dreams upon awakening.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vallat and a research team found that people who frequently remember dreams have more white matter in a region of the brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex, which is a brain region linked with processing information about oneself.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most people remember only the last dream before waking, but skilled dream-recallers can work back to retrieve earlier dreams. If you want to remember more dreams, keep a pen and paper by your bed and write down everything you remember as soon as you wake up. You’ll soon remember more and more.
