Well, I don't remember dreaming ever since the end of school.
When I sleep, I don't really dream. It's all black.
So I wake up, never even had the thought that I dreamed, and I always do.

I think something is wrong with me.
DO I NOT EXIST ANYMORE?

You always dream, but not always remember.
Number of dreams and chance for remembering can be increased with these things:
1. Don't stay up long at nights.
2. Don't wake up early, unless you are completely refreshed.
3. Don't overexhaust yourself.
4. Don't place too much mirrors in your room.
5. Don't lock your room completely.
6. Don't have materialist view on things, especially not on dreams.
7. Do mystical things sometimes. Occult goodies.
8. Do half-mistical things sometimes. Astrology, Feng Shui, etc.
9. Daydream some.

Also, maybe you have something important spiritual thing to do, or you made some mistake or you THINK that you made a mistake and punish yourself with no dreams, also can be you had some big shock.

Exactly what CastChaos says. You're just not remembering your dreams.

When at school, you would have had a lot more processing going through your brain, therefore youre dreams would have been more "intense", and so you are more likely to wake up halfway through a dream.

Don't worry, you're perfectly alright! If you really don't dream at all any more, you probably wouldn't be conscious right now.

What would mirrors do?

Experiments showed that people sleeping in mirror filled rooms sleep not so well like in a mirrorless room. Some say that it's because dreams generated when the soul leaves the body and goes on a trip. But when the soul sees itself in a mirror, becomes shocked and goes back to the body, resulting no dreams or even nightmares.
Plus, the ancient occult says that "ghosts live in mirrors". It can be coincidence that some scientists found that tampering with mirrors and cameras can open a gate to the dimension of ghosts.
If you don't believe, stack your room with mirrors and see how you sleep.
Also, a book said that it's not good to have mirrors in the bedroom, because waking up and looking into a mirror can cause a shock! icon_lol.gif

Yup. You're just not remembering them. Quite often I shall have dreams that I won't remember until a few days after I have them, and then I'll be like "Oh yeah..." Don't worry, I went through a stage of not remembering any dreams at all, but it was only for about a month or so. You'll be dreaming again soon icon_wink.gif

Hmm. Things at church have never helped me sleep icon_eek.gif .

Having dreams while awake? What?

chronocosmic, it'd be nice if you could stay on topic, rather than trashtalking other members. Bonegolem, that goes for you too.




... Anyway, ...


I find that at least 10% of the dreams that I have tend to revolve around some sort of life-related activity. For example, I often dream of what classes I'm taking next semester are going to be like; I'd dream of walking into school, finding the classroom, sitting down, and seeing my new professor start to lecture about the class and such. The classroom would generally be in anywhere from a dark, heavily carpeted hallway-like lecture hall, (With the lectern at the wide end rather than the long end for some reason.) or an art workshop for a non-art class, etc.

Perhaps change your sleeping schedule? Try to get either 3, 6, or 9 hours of sleep. I heard somewhere that the standard sleep cycle is three hours, then you start again into another three-hour cycle.

I try to get at least 8-10 hours of sleep every night, though I must say I'm not always successfull...

That's all entirely ridiculous, you know that?

I'm definitely not either, and my results vary. I'm sure it can be applicable to everyone, my experiences, (As we are but humans; one and the same, are we not? icon_wink.gif ) but I tend to automatically wake up after either nine or ten hours of sleep, and also automatically (Though quite reluctantly.) when I'm supposed to get up, either a few minutes before the alarm sounds, or half an hour before it sounds. I'm also not usually sleepy at all until past midnight, when it's easier to sleep. Sleep generally comes in five to six hour batches on schooldays, and six to nine or ten hour batches (Whatever a batch is.) elsewhen.

I haven't remembered a many of my dreams for a long time, so when I do remember a dream in waking, it sticks rather than fades away from memory. I usually find meaning in it.
