Is it bad if you don't dream?

Answer 1

The simple answer might be that you sleep so soundly that you don't remember any dreams. Research indicates that everyone has many dreams every night. See the link below for further information.

Answer 2

Not at all. Everyone dreams every night without fail, so it's not a question of if we dream, it's a question of why you don't remember them. Dream recall is the ability to remember dreams in detail and length and this can be practised by simply writing a dairy online or offline purely for what happens in your dreams. People call it a dream journal. Try it, your dream recall will immensely improve and it will be as if you never "stopped dreaming" (when in actual fact you just have more memory of them), you might even have a few lucid dreams too, in which you know your dreaming.

Answer 3

If you don't dream, you may have trouble learning and remembering things. You would also be likely to be irritable or suffer mental health symptoms. Generally this only happens during sleep deprivation or deliberate manipulation to prevent dreams. If you are allowed to sleep naturally, you should dream. If you don't think you are dreaming, chances are that you just don't remember having them.

Answer 4

Research in sleep laboratories has shown that dreaming takes place, whether the individual remembers the dreams or not.
