I don't dream anymore.. I just sleep. And wake up sad.

If you really never entered REM sleep (dreaming state), you'd be schizophrenic.... I sure HOPE you've been dreaming, at least occasionally!
Biologically, dreaming is when the part of the brain at the top of the brain stem, base of the skull area (the primitive part- responsible for basic survival functions like breathing), starts giving of random signals.
The cerebral cortex- the part of the brain that does the higher thought functions tries to interpret and understand these signals.... this attempt to understand the random signals is your "dream."
That's why often, people's dreams are so weird- the cerebral cortex is "grasping at straws"....
Everyone dreams. The real question is whether we remember them... You've just never woken up in the middle of one... or have one wake you up.

Dreams are your minds method of working out solutions to complex situations that you are currently in. In simple terms during R.E.M (Rapid Eye Movement) your brain is performing Roleplays of situations of predicting outcomes to help make sense of what information it has received lately so it can record it in your brain.
Having no dreams could indicate your brain is so calm, it has no need to do these complex calculations. This is a normal reaction.
On the other hand, it is generally true that dreams are forgotten as you exit REM, so it may be your brain is just behaving normally.

Everyone dreams all the time, but very few dreams are remembered. It isn't weird that you don't remember, you just can't.

You do dream. Every night.
You just don't remember it.

You may be dreaming but not remembering.

May be you should try sleeping longer.
You dream when you are rested; so either you simply do not remember your dreams, or you are not rested well enough.

People only dream if they are well rested and actually get too much sleep.
