Why Do I Rarely Dream? Options

Why do I rarely dream? Most often, everytime I woke up I rarely recall having any dream at all, and I can almost say with certainty that 90% of my sleep during my lifetime is without a dream, or without any memory recall of it. Is there a reason? Or am I just having normal sleep like everyone elses? I don't recall having any dreams in my sleep for like almost a year. I am not complaining, and I enjoyed my dreamless sleep, but I am curious to why...

As far as I am aware there is no known naturally occuring cause for this. But statistically (I think less than 3%) of people just don't dream. They have normally occuring REM cycles like everybody else. But they don't experience the same hallucinations that come along with that. Other possible causes for not dreaming at all can include head injuries, chronic drug use and brain surgury (esp if you've had a tumor removed).

It sounds like to me you do have dreams its just over the years you've gotten good at not remembering them (which about 60% of people just don't remember most of their dreams, but they still have them). And while I do think dreams can be a useful tool for understanding the mind, individual psychology and getting the bottom of mental troubles, I don't think they are essential. So if you're happy not remembering them its not like you're cutting off an arm or leg or something.
