Here are some good leads to start your research to answer your question. While not every link is useful in that list, there are several that directly address your question, to varying levels of reliability. --Jayron 32 18:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's important to note that most dreams are not remembered. It's normal to go into REM sleep several times every night. So you can't judge the frequency of your own dreams. --76.69.116.4 (talk) 22:30, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You dream multiple times every night. IMO a better thing to research would be how to make yourself remember more of your dreams after waking up. The practices associated with lucid dreaming tend to be useful at that even if you're not trying to influence your dreams. 93.142.92.186 (talk) 06:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want more dreams (or to remember more of them)? Vitamin B6 is supposed to make them more vivid. 173.228.123.207 (talk) 09:17, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
