Why we don't remember our dreams
Whether or not you remember your dreams, and whether or not you believe it, you dream every single night during REM sleep, as our brains Pineal gland pumps out levels of DMT, consolidating memories for the day, and restoring itself for what lies ahead.
Why meditate?
So one day, after reading about it online, I decided to give this so called "miracle" exercise a shot, and with little to no expectations of it whatsoever, I was off.

Visualize yourself in a time and place in your life when you were pumped up, before a competition, speech, or huge event in your life in which you had a huge adrenaline rush and were pumped up.
