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...

Greetings,

Do you wake up during your sleep? One possibility is that every time you reach the Alpha frequencies, you may pass through them rather fast and stay for a longer time in lower freqs, where you sleep more deeply.

A technique which you could try if you want is to set an alarm clock, first to ring 3 hours after you fall to sleep and then every 1.5-2hrs. When you wake up, if you can, try and stay awake for a few moments (from 20 seconds up to 1-2 minutes may do the trick). This is suggested actually to people who want to also practice lucid dreaming, because by this way the Alpha freqs cycle, where consciousness is more feasible, is considered to take longer time for completion before moving in deeper states.

No, I very rarely wake up during my sleep (I always have a very deep sleep) I'd probably will still be asleep even if the house is on fire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I noted that if I wanted to have/remember my dream, I would only have a partial recall of the dream - if any, usually within or less than 5 minutes after I wakes up. If I just go to bed without making any mental note to remember my dream, I'd very rarely recall anything at all.

May it also be problems with my brain, or memory in general? I do note a long term memory problem with myself, for example activities I did with old friends 5 - 10+ years ago where he can recall it lucidly, and I have NO recollection of it whatsoever. It happens quite a lot, probably one fitfh of the times.
