I used to dream quite vividly. All the usual nighmares and flying dreams and being naked in class dreams and the really weird ones you get when you're in puberty or on the nicotine patch or you know you're getting fired from your job the next day.
A while ago I was in a bike wreck and had a Traumatic Brain Injury. I saw the Dream Post Monday bandwagon starting and I realized that since the wreck I cannot remember any of my dreams. Not one. Hadn't even occurred to me that I wasn't remembering them until this morning.
I asked my wife if she noticed any changes in my sleep. She said that I don't move around when I sleep much anymore. She said thatshe sleeps better because I'm not moving as much.
So now I wonder if I actually do dream anymore.

You have to dream. If you don't do it in sleep, like staying up for a week or something, you hallucinate.

Only a week, huh? I'm "working at home" on disability...

"So now I wonder if I actually do dream anymore."
Everybody dreams - whether you can remember or not is a seperate issue. You can train yourself too do, search on the web there's plenty of reading material. If you don't normally remember you have to wait yourself up in the middle of the sleep cycle (during REM sleep)- then you will probably remember because you will be right in the middle of it.

I normally can't remember any of my dreams. Eventually, you'll be able to. But it'll be rarely. Of the past 3 years, I can remember that I remembered 4 dreams the next morning. I don't remember what they were about though.

far too much remembering going on in that review.

Nicotine patch dreams are crazy, as well as Benadryl dreams. I made the mistake of taking a benadryl while reading a Stephen King novel one night. Now, that was a weird night of dreaming.
And now to discredit the first part of my review with a bad joke...
My gay cousin is on the patch...he's down to 2 butts a day!!!
