The evaporation of dreams appears to be quite normal. Given the lowered level of awareness during sleep, it's understandable that memory of dreams is mediocre. Dream recall is best when people are awakened during or very soon after a dream. Most of the time, people who do recall dreams upon waking are remembering either their last dream from their final REM period or a dream that awakened them earlier in the night. Hobson's educated guess is that people probably forget 95%-99% of their dreams. This forgetting is natural and is not due to repression,. People who never remember their dreams probably have a sleep pattern that puts too much time between their last REM/ dream period and awakening, so even their last dream is forgotten.
