My pet theory: just because you don’t ‘remember’ you dreams doesn’t mean you didn’t have them. This would result in wildly in accurate correlations (lack of coffee = more dreams, weed smokers = don’t dream). There are always counter examples to any correlation you can come up with which can’t be ignored.
I’ve personally decided my conscience mind doesn’t need to bother myself with what my meatware is doing while I sleep. People tell me I don’t dream because I don’t remember them.
I think that’s false. Sometimes I remember that I dreamed for a few seconds after a wake up, then it fades. I’ve rolled with it and intentionally forget my dreams. Not my (conscience kinda) business. When I wake it my turn to go get food and water so we can come back to sleep 18 hours later.

I have confirmed this with experiments - I have woken up in the night, written down my dream and went back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning I couldn't remmeber a thing and the notes seemed like they were written by someone else. There was no 'yeah, i can sort of remmember it" - memory was totally blank. The experiment is fairly repeatable - not every night, but couple times a week.
- tracerbulletx 4y agoI thought this was common knowledge. If you google "does everyone dream" you will see about a million articles that say some variation of "we all dream every night but don't remember most of them". It's so common it's like one of those aphorisms or old wives tales you just hear everywhere.
