Answer 1

We all dream every night. However, we do not always remember them. All of us forget 95-99% of our dreams for the very ordinary reason that we sleep right through them and aren't paying attention to remembering anything. In studies that compare people who recall several dreams a week with those who recall one a month or less, the biggest difference is that the people who recall have a greater interest in dreams and therefore a greater motivation to pay attention to them. For some reason, these people have decided that their dreams are worth remembering. The main reason we know "interest" and "motivation" are important is the high recallers say on surveys that they think dreams are important. But we also know it because some low recallers are stimulated to recall when they read about dreams or take a class on them. Some low recallers seem to be less good at tasks involving visual imagination, such as when they have to look at a picture of a building made of blocks and then construct one out of blocks that are sitting in front of them. There may be other "cognitive skills" relating to the ability to imagine things that are important, too, but the research is not yet completely convincing on this point.

To remember then, write down the dreams immediately when you wake up because the events and details of dreams fade with time. Therefore, keep a pen or pencil and a notebook near your bed. You could even use a tape recorder to document your dreams. When you wake up, immediately write down or record everything that you remember about the dream. After a few nights of sleep and dreams, you will get better at remembering what happened in the dreams.

Do you often feel anxious, bothered, upset, or worried about things? Do you think a lot about your problems? If you don't, that could be 1 reason why you don't dream.

If you want to dream, think (and feel) a lot during the daytime. I do that (my brain feels like it almost never sleeps), and I've dreamed every night for the last several years, and every time I take a nap, even if it's only for 10 minutes. They are extremely vivid and detailed, almost exactly like real life.

There might be another way to remember your dreams, but this will sound a bit off the wall. Close your eyes, and ask your mind/heart/soul to remember your dreams. Ask sincerely and respectfully (after all, you are talking to a person, your self), and state your reasons why. And then perhaps a thanks. Don't just ask before you go to sleep, but also several times during the day.

That's what I did. I only remembered my dreams occasionally before. But after I asked a couple times, after a couple weeks, I started to remember them more frequently. And then it became every day. I don't know if this will work for other people, but it worked for me.

As psychgrad said about high recallers, I also believe my dreams are important to me.

Answer 3

You DO dream, you just don't remember them. Dreams are kind of a way for our brains to sort out information that we have input over the past day or so. We remember things which our brain has placed in storage. Those dreams which seem to kind of fade as we recount them to ourselves or others are in short-term memory. Dreams which we remember for a long time have been transferred to permanent memory. Often these are triggered by a combination of inputs, IE; a sound and a smell which we have encountered together in the past. No worries.There is no significance to dreams. They are not mysterious messages. Your brain just did not think of anything important enough for you to remember when you wake up. It is getting some rest. This is a good thing.

Answer 4

Sometimes I don't dream. I have gone a year without dreaming before. You need to get into a deep sleep. Get to be before 11:00, calm your mind, before you even get into bed think over your day in your head. Many times you do dream, you just don't remember. When you wake up try and remember when you went to bed. If you remember any part of a dream write it down.

Answer 5

You actually are dreaming, everyone does, everytime you sleep.
The problem is, you simply don't remember dreaming. The same thing happens to me, but I have made progress, by researching methods of improving dream recall. For example:

Answer 6

Everyone dreams. If you don't remember them, that means you're getting good sleep and not getting woken up in the middle of a sleep cycle.

Some medications can reduce the amount of dreaming you do, especially anti-depressants, so talk to your doctor if you're on something like that. But don't worry, you're probably fine.

Answer 7

This happens to me to and I wonder why.
A clear conscious sounds good to me,but don't know if this is the reason why,of not dreaming.
Sometimes,if I eat ice cream before going to bed,I dream.
Try that in your favorite flavor.
Something about the dairy,I suppose.

Answer 8

i've heard somewhere that people who don't dream have a clear conscience, from some movie
