I just don’t dream… anything. I remember having dreams as a kid, and I remember what it felt like waking up, knowing I’d had a dream, but forgetting it. But anymore, I just don’t have any dreams anymore.
You probably have dreams but are not aware because you do not wake up during a dream anymore. Maybe your sleep habits changed. You can remember dreaming only if you wake up during REM sleep. I know it is not possible probably, but if you have someone watch you while you are sleeping and wake you up a few seconds after they see your eyes moving, you'd probably remember your dream.
You might have got sleep apnoea. If you also happen to not really feel rested in the morning. I know people that haven't had it diagnosed for decades and it turned their life around and they also finally dreamed again. As a "byproduct" of not nearly dying every night, but resting.
IF there is a pathological reason. Can also just be you don't stand up shortly after your last REM-sleep and go into deep or light again. Might wanna just check with some smartwatch or just an alarm mid-sleep to check if you then remember stuff.
Off on a tangent, but I dated a woman who had sleep apnea, and wore the CPAP mask at night.
In the morning, because of being pumped full of air all night, she would fart the most deepest, longest, most glorious farts for like 2 or 3 minutes straight. We would just laugh, and laugh...
Wut? 😂 Never heard of such a correlation, but it's surely funny
Hmm do you perhaps watch some streams or listen to podcast before sleep ( or even during sleep technicaly speaking ) ,beacuse i also dont dream when i do this.
But i on the other hand also dream vwry vividly and intensly when i think about stuff before sleep ( whatewer it is , book idea , aliens, power fantasy about conquest of russia, imagining the layout of pipes around my house ).
Eat more bananas !
Idk, i remember reading that banana makes your dream more lucid.
Huh..
I share a similar experience to the person you replied to, but recently I've been doing the "wake up knowing you had a dream but can't remember it" thing again, and I've also been eating more bananas recently.
Coincidence?!
Sugar makes me dream.
Are you a stoner? That kills the recall of your dreams but not the actual dreaming. You just never remember
No, cannabis is understood to decrease REM sleep, and that "kills" the actual dreaming.
I sleep so well after getting mildly stoned.
Decades ago I used to smoke “regularly”, but even at my height I never smoked that heavily
Start taking ssri and every night is an adventure
Sleep with a nicotine patch on. The most vivid, fantastical dreams you'll ever have.
