I do not dream, I've had a few sleep studies to try and figure out why but I skip the REM cycle that allows one to dream. I used to vivid dream growing up and my parents felt they were not good for me so they made me take a pill at night. I lost not only the vivid dreams but even small little dreams which were not vivid. I have the short sleepers gene and that may have been the way I was able to vivid dream, to begin with. I have tried many meditations and herbs to try and regain them but have had no luck so far.

I completely understand your thoughts on this and have often said the same thing to people recalling dreams. All things are a personal interpretation. The world is what we allow it to be, good or bad.
