It's just as the title says. For as long as I can remember I haven't been dreaming. Sometimes I get the odd dream but most of the time I don't dream. So is it normal that I don't dream?
We don't remember most of our dreams. I think that you dream but don't remember.
You might have a sleeping disorder. Everyone is supposed to dream unless they have a neurological issue. Sometimes, this happens if I drink my herbal tea late at night, I'll go to bed and the only thing I'll remember is blackness. If you're really concerned by this, I would suggest that you go to a sleep clinic. As you sleep they'll monitor you and check for any thing out of the norm on your brainwaves.
You do dream every night, you just don't remember them. Dreaming is a part of the sleep cycle. You have to dream.
You'll only remember a dream if you wake up during or straight after the REM part of the sleep cycle. Also you can remember dreams some times by memory triggers in waking life.
I dream almost every night. I keep wondering if this is normal or not. But I love dreaming. It makes me happy.
You do dream, however, during the night...you have many things that happen while you're sleeping...resulting forgetting! It's kind of like how we tire ourselves out by doing many tasks throughout the day...most likely we forget something here and there because we are constantly running around making sure everything gets done! Well, the only difference is your mind is at rest...which probably is one of the reasons why you can't seem to remember them!
I used to never remember my dreams, once I fell asleep I was out cold and didn't remember a thing, and if I ever did it was more of a feel of the dream or a small part but never much. Now I remember more of my dreams, I actually enjoyed more when I couldn't remember my dreams I'm not sure why but I do. Anyway it is completley normal, you aren't not having dreams, you just don't remember them.
If you never dream, you would be dead. You just don't remember them.
If you want to remember your dream, have someone watch over you until your eyes start to flicker beneath your eyelids and make them wake you up as soon as it stops.
I dream that one day I'll be able to dream.
It's somewhat normal. Someone I know had the same problem as you.
