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.

From how I understand it, you dream every night as your body enters REM sleep, but you often don’t remember dreams. You can try and train yourself to better recall your dreams and in doing so you may find that you “dream more often”.

I’d say I have weeks where I remember my dreams, sometimes multiple, every night, and other times where I’ll go a week or more without recalling any. It varies on a lot of things. In particular, I’ll find if I stop smoking weed for about 4 or more days, I’ll start remembering dreams vividly and frequently, but that’ll lessen over 2 weeks.

I dream in a fashion that I “experience” the dream and remember it later, but only around the changing of the seasons. For instance, in Central America where I live, were transitioning into the rainy season soon. I’ve been dreaming so vividly for the pas two weeks, and only started feeling rested two nights ago.

In a week or so, that will taper back to rarely remembering ant dreams, and not surface again until October or November when our dry season starts again. (Disclaimer: we haven’t had a rainy season with rain the past two Yeats, but we still call it the rainy season)

When I lived in New England, it was the same, but four times a year, and most pronounced in the fall-to-winter and spring-to-summer transitions.

That’s not to say I never dream outside of those times, but rarely remember, and not consecutively. Last night I had one dream from 3am to 7am. I woke up once and used the bathroom and easily returned to the same dream, albeit subdued.

I dream most nights, though the dreams themselves very rarely make it into my long term memory and are forgotten within minutes of waking up.

As far as I know, everyone dreams every night…it’s part of the sleeping process…but you usually forget it ASAP so it seems like you didn’t dream.

As for dreams I remember…less often as I get older, I find. Although I do get a few vivid dreams when using magnesium supplements, but I also acclimate to those quickly. And if I’m woken prematurely, sometimes a dream sticks around a bit more than it otherwise would.

I usually have three or four dreams a night. I often wake up thinking I should write them down as plots for short stories. I’ve sketched out a handful of the really far out ones (like when Colin Farrell popped out of a statue in front of a frat house to warn me that Bill Gates was chasing me).

Every night.

I’ve heard hella people say you don’t have dreams if you smoke weed, but it’s never stopped me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I dream every night and my dreams are usually both very vivid and also very surreal. The last dream I had involved getting lost in a restaurant that was a non-Euclidean space

Every Night

Multiple times a night. Typically I know I’m dreaming and can choose to wake up or alter the dream if I like, but I have some “uncontrolled” dreams as well.

I dream every night. I even dream frequently while taking naps, sometimes as short as 15-20 minutes.

Many dreams I forget shortly upon waking. As in, I can’t remember what it was about by the time I get out of bed. But, I do actually remember the dream for a few seconds, so I know it happened. The majority of my dreams I can recall for the rest of the morning or even day. If something noteworthy happened, I can remember the dream for days, weeks, or years. I really depends on how impactful/meaningful the dream was.

I have not used sleep journals or anything of that nature to help me remember dreams. I have always been like this. I also have had sleep paralysis and sporadic insomnia for about as long as I can remember - not severe or frequent enough to need treatment.

I have a dream landscape? It’s like all the places I’ve ever been have blended together to create a new world. And in a dream I know I can get from the fancy section (where there’s the wierd Victorian house that is like a coop I used to live in, and sometimes there’s a special room I can access by crawling up a specific wall) to the bar/shopping district by walking/going south, while by going west I can get to the beach that’s an amalgam of several Texas and Mexican beaches along with a strong dose of Egypt. There’s an epic resort there I often end up at, sometimes as a guest, other times worrying the whole time how I’m going to pay for it. There’s also a subway system that leads to a New York/Paris/other massive cities I’ve been to with bad ass museums. I think that’s to the northeast…

Anyone else have this? Love to hear about it.

Almost every night now.

I used to never dream but I would go to bed with the TV on. I wanted to switch to falling asleep to music. At some point I realized I would have nightmares whenever I slept without either. It was like my brain couldn’t handle the lack of external stimuli.

But I wanted to dream more, so I started going to bed without it more and more often. Eventually those nightmares turned to dreams as I pushed through it. It was fantastical. Almost like hearing music for the first time after being deaf. It was a whole new world and I can’t get enough.

Yeah I dream, but mostly when I’m sleeping.

I can’t. I lost the ability around age 7-8 and have never had problem sleeping sense. I do have a small 1-2 nightmares every 7-8 months though. They did a sleep and psyc study on me and found that I just sleep heavy and my brain relaxes and i go i to deep sleep for most of the duration instead of processing information. It is also the reason I can fall asleep on “impulse” and also why studying before sleep works well for me since my information retains where it left off. It is my one super power if I was to say I had one.
