Also some people don't remember their dreams. I have a hard time relating to that. Could be the same people.
I don’t remember dreams but definitely have an inner monologue. Not related.
I thought the same for a while but you definitely do you just gotta make it your goal to think about it as soon as you wake up. As you become an adult you start to wake up and instantly think about your responsibilities, so you start to think oh I don't remember my dreams anymore but really if you just think about it right away after waking up like you did as a kid you will remember it I guarantee you.
