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

Do you dream? Every night?

    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.

      That’s fascinating! I can remember snippets from hundreds, if not thousands of my dreams, but it takes me at least 60-90 minutes to fall asleep each night.

        My SO is the same way, and jokingly she hates me that I can just close my eyes and be instantly gone as she used to get upset that “I don’t dream about her” since she dreams a lot and remembers lots too. But I don’t dream about anything she knows that now but took a while for her to realize that.

          It doesn’t seem fair! I think I’d rather have the extra sleep than the dream memories; the sleep seems more valuable.
