Do some people dream and some people not while sleeping?

People that talk to me have told me down to every last detail about dreams they have had. Can they really remember to that level or are they imagining it?
Does everyone dream just some people don't remember it or do some people not dream much?

I always understood not everyone had dreams that often.

    Everyone dreams. It's just that not everyone remembers theirs dreams.

    If you want to remember them, write them down right after you wake up, while the memory is fresh.

    There are supplements that can give you more vivid dreams. Zinc has for me, or maybe it was the levodopa.

      Thank you very much. I have another question if you do not mind? Something different from dreams.

          I have had some women treat me badly, be nice to me and then change. Now when a woman shows interest in me I feel I do not believe you really like me and I do not trust it. I have a guard up. :(

            Aw, that sucks, bro. All those nasty people gave you trust issues. But you'll have to let that guard down someday, carefully. I guess it helps if you know the person well and for a long time -- you know, make friends, see if they're trustworthy, and maybe you will come to like one of them and they will like you back.

              Thank you. While I have met some women like this. I have actually had a lot of women that have been very flirty with me. One woman stared in my eyes and bit her lip at me.

    Some dreams i remember very vividly (one dream i remember vividly even..umm...12 years later o.o)...some dreams I forget 100% after 4 seconds of being awake. xD Depends on dream & person i guess?

    For me remembering many details of my dreams is pretty obvious, but every person experiences the same things another way, so it is possible that some people don't remember their dreams and some just don't have many of them.

      Yeah, I am asking because I find kind of feel lost right now.

        Why lost? If you want to dream more or have lucid dreams do some googling and find out how to do it, otherwise stop comparing yourself to other people and worrying about being a bit different.

        It's fairly clear from scientific sleep studies that the vast majority of people do dream, but we're all different in terms of whether we remember them and if we do, how much detail is recalled. Personally, I've found this varies incredibly over time: sometimes I don't remember any dreams for weeks on end, or know I've dreamed but can't remember it, or occasionally can remember a dream in great detail. In fact, I can remember details of some dreams I had decades ago.

        By the way, all dreams are "made up" in the sense that they're created by our own subconscious minds.

          Thanks for your answer. The reason I feel lost is not dreams sorry I should have made that clear it is after some woman did something to me and I don't know if I should forgive her or tell her to get stuffed.

              The thing is I am a person that has a great and awesome sense of humour. It is just that I do not like jokes that are put downs of other people or groups of people.

              She laughed and made fun of me and then when I said hey that is not cool she made fun of me even more and then she was like sorry but I after that it made me feel like she was just being sarcastic.

              It just made me think if she is going to immature and treat me this way is she even worth it. I mean I don't know her that well anyway. Since she said sorry I have not replied back to her. That was 24 hours ago.

              It was just a red flag and made me think if I talk to her is she just going to get worse and worse and worse. I just can not be bothered with her immaturity to be honest.

    Everyone dreams (according to studies).
    Those who say they don't just can't remember them.

    Dreams are weird, some people do and some people don't and lots don't even remember their dreams. It depends on the person.
