The "professionals" say that everyone dreams,Very interesting since you are very strong in I and T just like me.
I also don't have dreams at all, as far as I can tell.
The "professionals" say that everyone dreams,
and that if you didn't dream, you would become psychotic,
that is, lose touch with reality.
It's most likely that people who say they don't dream just don't remember their dreams.
I don't remember most of my dreams either.
Every now and then, I have one that's significant.
If I wake up right after, I will remember it.
If thoughts of it continue to "haunt" me, I will look up the meaning of it
to see what I'm supposed to learn from it.
Usually my dreams are just a reflection of how I am feeling at that time in my life.
Sometimes they can be prophetic, but rarely.
Here's my favorite dream interpretation book.
It's my favorite because of its accuracy.

The easiest way to dream is to drastically oversleep. 14 hours minimum. I once slept for a whole weekend (with maybe 2 hours break for food and toilet) and I had some insane dreams. The "snooze" button is also great for dreaming. Sleep for 10 or 12 hours and then start snoozing and you'll have a variety of dreams. Some of them are bound to be bad, though they may not be nightmares.
Seven hours is a good amount of time.Please be honest with me. How do you do something like that?
I can't sleep longer then 7 hours no matter what.
Seven hours is a good amount of time.
Why do you want to sleep more than that?
I've heard of people who only need 4 hours a night!
I need 9!
So you're saying you're always tired?*pokes signature*
I need twenty.

Do you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
I once heard that one hour of sleep before midnight is equal to two hours of sleep after midnight,Not really.
Part of it's a joke, but I do fall asleep at strange times, in strange places, particularly when I don't get enough sleep. For some reason the time of day I sleep is more important than how much I sleep. I am much more tired if I go to bed early and wake up early than if I go to bed late and wake up late, even if technically I got the same amount of sleep both times. The only problem is that my prime sleeping hours are hours where people should be awake (at least, according to society, but what the hell do they know?), so yes, I am always tired.

Do you microsleep? (Throughout the day, do you have one or two times where you suddenly get an overwhelming urge to close your eyes- if you are persistant, it could go away in 3-10 minutes.)
There was about a year-long time in my life when I slept probably about 5 hours a night, but fell into microsleep quite often (the brain falls asleep for 3-14 secs, "spacing out", so to speak).

Yeah, it isn't easy. The 11 hour mark is a particularly tough one to get past. That's usually where the quitters will get up and have a coffee, or maybe surf the news headlines. The truly committed, however, roll over and nod the fuck off. After ~13-14 hours of sleep you stop feeling rested and start feeling tired again, so it becomes easier. And the dreams become extremely lucid.

but you could be someone for whom that does not hold true.
It does for me, though.
