We develop neurologically for dreaming, your brain does produce neural pathways and neurons to facilitate the dream experience. If we slack our ability to dream goes into atrophy so we lose perception, memory and awareness as a result.

It's a skill that needs constant stimulation and participation to keep active or it goes the way of the dodo bird. You can get it back, it just takes knowing how to train the brain so it's stimulated out of atrophy just like learning to read, or play the piano.

Here's a training system that addresses active dream development and explains all the science of how we develop neurologically for our dream experiences with ample fMRI research backed by training those deficient regions including awareness.
