I have a completely different problem - I almost never dream. If I do, they're very short, and very difficult to remember.

- maskedinvader 6y agoThats me too, I almost never dream , although I am sure I do dream every night, just that when I wake up I have no recollection, perhaps if it was an intense dream then I may sense if it was a sad dream or a happy dream, but rarely do I remember anything specific. I've always wondered if this is normal.
- rubicon33 6y agoI wonder too. Most people I know, who I've told this to, think its very odd that I never dream. Probably related, I've struggled with depression nearly my entire adult life. I've learned to cope, drug free, but yea, I'm sure on a neural level my brain just isn't firing at peak levels like a normal person.
- maskedinvader 6y agoyeah same here, most people find it damn peculiar that I have dreamless nights. I don't think depression is related to remembering (I am no doctor nor shrink) but anecdotally my wife has suffered severe depression for a long time and could remember most of her dreams just fine. I suspect it's something to do how memories are retained, I say that because I don't have sharpest short term memory.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoIf you want to connect with your dreams, try this technique: Ask to not be disturbed. Go to sleep. Sleep until you wake up. Stay laying down until you fall asleep again. Your sleep will now be shallow, and it will be easy to drift in and out, and retain a half-conscious state for extended periods.
