Question

Since I was a kid and until im 15 I have only probably just dreamed 3 times I am I normal because I know humans dream way more then that. and I heard your not well if you dont dream

Answer 1

You do dream, everyone does. You just don't remember your dreams. All dreams are, are subconscious brain activity. Everyones brain is active while sleep. If it wasn't then you'd be dead! So your really question is, why don't you remember any of your dreams. It might have to do with your short term memory or how long you sleep. There are several REM cycles during a normal nights sleep (8 hrs). These cycles are very short initially and increase the longer you sleep. Usually people have a new dream every REM cycle. Most people remember only the ones from the most recent REM cycle. I usually can remember about 3 or 4 dreams (I get a lot of sleep). When you wake up you might be interrupting one of these cycles and cannot remember, but if you never remember than it just might be your short term memory.

Answer 2

You prorbably are dreaming and just don't remember it. A lot of people think they don't dream and they do. This is a common thing that people complain about. I wouldn't worry to much about it. If it really bothers you, and you are sure you are not dreaming, maybe your doctor can set you up with a sleep clinic. They could help in that area.

Answer 3

You probably dream all night, you just don't remember them. You only have dreams during REM sleep, which is the sleep where your body clears away unnecessary thoughts or memories of the day in your brain.

Answer 4

You dream, we all do, you just don't remember. Before you go to bed, tell yourself you will remember your dreams when you wake, keep a pad of paper by your bed. Before you get up or start thinking about anything, ask yourself what you remember.

Keep a dream journal, I do, I find it helpful.

Answer 5

You don't dream because your soul died when you were young.

(Just kidding.)

You probably dream, but you either can't remember them, or sometimes the dream concepts are too abstract for your conscious mind to interpret.

Answer 6

i've read somewhere a while back that no matter how long you sleep you always dream at a certain stage. It's just wether or not you remember the dream. I've also heard that you only remember dreams with color? probably little urban legends but i dunno.
