Yes, it is entirely normal to remember dreams, just as it is normal to forget them. Most people experience dreams every night, but the ability to recall them varies based on sleep quality, waking conditions, and individual brain chemistry. Both high and low recall are common human experiences.

Yes, it is common to feel your heartbeat, a sensation often called palpitations. This can happen due to stress, exercise, caffeine, or strong emotions.
