To dream that you are attacked by zombies, indicates that you are feeling overwhelmed by forces beyond your control. You are under tremendous stress in your waking life.

The only times I dream a lot is when I am in difficult times or when I disturb my sleeping pattern.
When your life is stable, you should have no dreams at all and experience peaceful sleep every night.

Yep that's what I meant. When my life is good & everything is peaceful, I recall zero dreams at all.
When things are really going bad, in times of impending fever, or deliberately trying to set them off (lucid dreaming) then I start to have a lot of dreams (or as you put it, recall a lot of them).
Melatonin is one of the main chemicals the body produces which is used in dream . It is produced by the Pineal gland. It is important not to have too much of this chemical as too much can lead to manic depression and too little can lead to withdrawal. So in some ways we suffer from withdrawal symptoms if we produce too much. So in this way levels of Melatonin are extremely important in helping us regulate our own bodies.
Melatonin then is also said to enhance the vividness of dream . So what can you do to enhance the bodies production of Melatonin? Diet is an obvious start. Several foods are associated with Melatonin production. They include oats, rice, milk, seafoods, Soya, sweet corn, bananas, and tomatoes. Some people take Melatonin supplements but no studies have been done on the safety of this. However Melatonin is quickly flushed out of the body within an hour of production so it is better to take the food last thing at night otherwise it will have no effect. You can also enhance Melatonin levels with actions. As discussed earlier it is associated with the rhythms of the body. And meditation is said to enhance production along with Yoga. Dimmed lights can also encourage Melatonin. After all Melatonin only comes out at night after 9PM. It does not come out during the day at all. It is associated with daylight so a darkened room will enhance its production.
