It seems like I never dream. I'm sure I do, I know everyone does, but I can't tell you a dream I've had in at least a good 6 or 8 months. It seems like I just can't remember them.

I stopped having dreams when I was a teen in high school. Then at the age of 30 I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea.. I rarely reached REM sleep and woke up every hour on the hour while trying to sleep. You might want to look into the symptoms of sleep apnea, and consult a sleep specialist.

Since getting my CPAP and sleeping through the night again I have a dream.. sometimes more every night.

Sincerely,

Same here. I rarely remembered my dreams from about age 12 on. I would remember maybe one dream everyother month. Then I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and I eventually had surgery to correct it. Now, I need less sleep and I remember more dreams... unfortunately most of them seem to be ultra creepy nightmares which is probably another issues entirely.

Ah, I had sleep apnea when I was a baby, and my dad has it/did have it as well. I'm not aware of wether I still have it. I rarely EVER remember my dreams, haven't since I was 10 or so, now I'm 15. I'll remember the occasional 'weird dream' or nightmare, but mostly I just don't think I dream at all.

Most likely you dream some but just don't remember. I think that I've read or been told by doctors that if you didn't ever dream at all (never any rem sleep) you would develop some serious disorder.
