I saw another thread talking about dreams, I’ve had less than a handful of dreams throughout my life.

Do you dream? Every night?

    Every night.

    You almost certainly do too, but the part of our brain that commits things to long term memory is inactive when sleeping. When people recall their dreams, it’s at best just the ones that occurred right before waking up. Maybe you’re a heavy sleeper and tend to sleep through that window.

      Also why people tend to not dream if using substances that have memory loss side-effects—weed is common. And same reason people get “black out” drunk or drunkenly repeat themselves. The brain just isn’t noting anything down, but it is happening.

      I dream every night and can recall most dreams months sometimes years later. There just some dreams that never fade from memory.
