1,460 dreams a year? I probably have less than 200, and most of them are nightmares. *shivers* (I never take naps. Well, maybe sometimes.)
Most likely because people tend to forget many of their dreams when they wake up or in the few minutes afterward.

Weird, but wrong.

Based on WHO data from 2011, my calculations for the Global rate for birth and death and planet Earth are as follows:

1.8 deaths per second
4.2 births per second

These calculations are confirmed by the CIA's World Fact Book: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications...os/xx.html

IIRC, you forget 80% of your dreams 5-7 minutes after you wake up.

Which, if true, would explain why you only think you had 200 or so...
