To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain remains active. The brain thinks about what has recently been most active during waking hours—experiences, thoughts and feelings accessed recently whether consciously or not. The brain is still active, so it works on this content, but not in a familiar, rational way. During sleep, this material is not related using input from the external real world, but rather by the brain connections already established in the cortex. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange, circuitous flow from one image to the next. So dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but dream imagery is taken from everyday experiences, thoughts and feelings that matter most to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply standard symbol definitions, such as Freudian meanings. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.

It's normal not to remember dream images or events. You see, the material in dreaming doesn't resemble the event flow created by input from the real world. So it doesn't integrate easily into long term memory. A common thing.

You may not be dreaming much because your brain has been low-key for a while, nothing intense going on, sort of on cruise control with no issues. If this is the case, not much carries over in your brain while you're sleeping. Not to worry, though. Nothing wrong with you. Life will challenge you big time soon enough. Then you'll have plenty to dream about.

you probably do dream its just that you don't remember what it was that you were dreaming. You may go into a really deep sleep that is full filling.
Don't look for dreams just let things happen
Some people don't remember dreams at all and then some do
write down what you were thinking, just as you wake up
The dream is there just under the subconscious.
Good Dreaming to you

All people are always dreaming. this is called REM sleep (rapid - eye - movement). The reason why it seems as though you are not dreaming is because you don't remember the images. YOu don't remember the images becuase you don't wake up immedietly after the dream.

Hope I've helped, and keep dreaming

A dream is recalled most easily if we awaken during it or immediately after it ends. If more than a few minutes lapse at the end of a dream, we risk the forgetting of the dream.
Also your dreams might occur in non-REM sleep. The people who dream in REM sleep remember more.

maby your in a deeper sleep than normal...
everyone dreams every night except when you get that feeling that youve just blinked but the whole nights gone. Its most probably that youve changed something and this has made you go into a deeper and shallower sleep
so its not that your not dreaming its just you cant remember it

Honestly, it MAY be a good sign that you don't remember your dreams. You are still dreaming, rest assured of that. But, in my opinion, you usually don't remember your dreams unless your REM (dreaming) cycle of sleep is interrupted.

It's just deep sleep. Maybe your body is tired. We only dream when we are in light sleep

You are dreaming, everybody does, you just aren't remembering them. You might try waking up a little bit earlier.
