Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio rarely remembers what he sees in his dreams, while sleeping.

The 35-year-old actor, who stars in the new dream world-set thriller Inception directed by Christopher Nolan admits that people should “pay attention” to what their subconscious is trying to tell them while they sleep, Teen Hollywood reported.

“I’m not a big dreamer; never have been. I remember fragments of my dreams. I read books on dream analysis and tried to research it in that sort of form. But I realised that [Inception] is [director] Chris Nolan’s dream world; it has its own structure and its own set of rules,” DiCaprio said.

“The only thing I’ve sort of obviously extracted from the research of dreams is, obviously we suppress things, emotions, things during the day and in that state of sleep our subconscious, or mind just sort of randomly fires off different surreal story structures. When we wake up we should pay attention to these things,” he added.
