I don't dream. No nightmares either. I have no problems sleeping and I'm not on drugs so it isn't a health thing - I've been like this all my life.

The only times I've managed to dream are when I nap while already well-rested, but even then I still usually don't. Like I might get 1 or 2 dreams a year in total from when I go back to sleep immediately after waking up, but never from normal sleep.

Anyone else like this?

Lucid dreaming and astral projection and contact of the 5th kind and bad drugs and occult practices led to paranormal experiences and negative experiences with sleep and dreaming which led to me smothering my dreams and training myself to instantly wake up if i begin dreaming. Since those years, i have slowly tip toed around dreaming again, i can tell i still have reflexive safe guards that dampen my dreaming ability.

If you want to dream more, one tried and tested trick people have learned: when you do dream, make sure to take note of it immediately, tell someone about it immediately. Preferably both vocally and in writing. Over time this will lead to more dreams...and more lucidity, which for most people is a fun or interesting plus.

Not to pry, but you've done occult practices and had paranormal experiences with dreaming? That sounds pretty cool, what about that made you quit dreaming? You don't have to be specific or even respond to me if you don't want.
