To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never dreamed (I’m almost 50 years old). I’ve always wondered what that means about my brain. Is there a medical or psychological label for people who don’t dream?
- tamrix 6y agoEverybody dreams unless you're brain dead during sleep. It's more about if you can recall your dreams. Some medications and /or weed can prevent dream recall.
- irrational 6y agoI’m pretty sure I haven’t been on medication (other than the occasional aspirin) or weed for the past 50 years. Something natural has prevented dream recall my entire life.
- easytiger 6y agoPresumably you do enter REM sleep though, in which case you likely have no dream recall, which is not unheard of
- noja 6y agowho don't dream, or don't remember their dreams?
- irrational 6y agoI don’t recall dreaming. So if I do dream, something is blocking my ability to recall dreaming.
- matthewfcarlson 6y agoI dream fairly frequently but I'm very rarely myself or in a place I've been before or with people I know. Dreams are weird and I wouldn't worry about it too much.
- air7 6y agoHealthy people dream several times a night and don't remember most of their dreams upon waking. Have someone monitor your sleep and wake you up when observing REM. There's a good chance you'll remember the dream you're currently in, and feel the disappointment of not knowing how it ends...
- irrational 6y agoWell, I’ve never had dream recall. You can’t miss something you’ve never had, so I don’t really care enough to get it checked out.
