Researchers report that, when people smelled the scent of rotten eggs while sleeping, their dreams turned negative; conversely, those who smelled the scent of roses had more positive dreams! Isn't that amazing that subtle smells may have such an impact on what we dream about? A few more quick dream facts: 
We typically dream for only about a couple of hours a night, during our REM sleep stage. That comes to 3 to 5 dreams a night on average, and each dream lasts about 5 to 20 minutes on average.And the reason why many of us don't remember most of our dreams? Because 50% of our dream is forgotten in the first 5 minutes following our dream; and 90% is forgotten in the next 5 minutes! So, unless we become awake during the REM stage when the dream is occurring, chances are we'll forget about it when we wake up the next morning.
